Opinions on the development of military aircraft structural strength based on aircraft structural operational integrity

Abstract

As a general quality characteristic with comprehensive feature, the aircraft structure operational integrity(ASOI) is the basis for aircraft structure to exert its operational applicability and effectiveness. The ASOI includes six mainly characteristics, such as durability, supportability, safety, structural capability, survivability and recoverability. The same structural design techniques may have different effects on the six mainly characteristics. In order to improve the ASOI, the development requirements of aircraft structural strength are discussed from the perspective of six mainly characteristics of ASOI, which is based on the analysis of ASOI meaning and aircraft combat characteristics. In addition, the influence of typical structural design techniques on ASOI is also analyzed, which is used for providing the basis for the relate analysis of aircraft structural strength.
