Large Cargo Airplane Structural Considerations 660669
This discussion summarizes the highlights of the C-141A airplane program, emphasizing fatigue, damage tolerance, and static strength considerations philosophically and in considerable detail where design criteria are involved. Dynamic considerations are also included insofar as the structural design of the airplane was affected thereby. Finally, some significant differences in criteria requirements between the C-141A and the C-5A are identified together with their expected impact on structural design.
