Book Synopsis Challenges and Issues with the Further Aging of U.S. Air Force Aircraft by : J. R. Gebman
Book excerpt: Over the next 20 years, the further aging of already-old aircraft will introduce challenges and issues for aircraft operators. The technical challenges relate to structures, propulsion, and systems. The institutional challenges include limitations on independent verification of fleet status and future condition and on information needed for engineering analyses including risk assessment, and an overall scarcity of resources.
