METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR AIRCRAFT STRUCTURAL LENGTH OF SERVICE ENHANCEMENT

摘要

A method for reworking an aircraft wing, attached to an aircraft fuselage, to reduce a propensity for advanced dynamic changes is described. The reworking method includes verifying components of the aircraft wing are in a condition acceptable for reworking, removing at least one existing fastener from the wing, reworking the at least one fastener hole using a coldworking process, and installing an oversized fastener into the at least one reworked fastener hole.
