In order to establish the structural fatigue lives of A-4 aircraft in service with the Blue Angels, a full-scale fatigue test will be performed on an A-4 airplane which will duplicate the loads and loading sequence experienced by the Blue Angel solo aircraft. The test program will assume that the solo airplane is always a solo airplane. That is, it is never rotated to the Diamond or Delta position. The test will be performed using a flight-by-flight loading spectrum based on actual flight data and composed of show, practice, and cross-country flights. The individual flight spectra and the overall mission spectrum are defined in this report. (Author)
