Features of aircraft operation in tropical climate conditions

Abstract

The paper considers the issues of climatic resistance of materials and means of protecting aircraft (AC). It has been established that the solution of these issues is at the intersection of several sciences, primarily applied climatology, materials science and the science of the reliability of complex technical systems. Particular attention is paid to the consideration of corrosion processes that aircraft are exposed to in the humid tropics and subtropics (India, Venezuela, Cuba, Indonesia, Vietnam, etc.), which is due to the intensive operation of Soviet and Russian-made aircraft in these regions.
