Extract

MR. Harpur's interesting and stimulating paper (page 363, May 1958 Journal) is obviously of great importance to all who have to face the problem of fatigue strength of aircraft. These comments all refer to Section 3—Design Loads. Mr. Harpur's conclusions are based on analysis of a typical flight plan of a medium haul civil transport, and are formulated as a proposal for two fail-safe design requirements.
