| Abstract | This note summarizes the available published information on the flight and ground loads to which fixed-wings light aircraft are subjected during agricultural operations.
Mathematical formulae are developed which may be used to obtain estimates of the total fatigue damage resulting from any combinations of mean stress, stress increment per "g", number of flight hours, and frequency of ground-air-ground cycles per flight hour.
It is shown that the fatigue damage resulting from the loads imposed during taxying on rough surfaces may be two orders of magnitude greater than that resulting from the average-case flight loads experience. |
