Abstract In support of the Federal Aviation Administration Technical Center's (FAATC) National Aging Aircraft Research Program (NAARP), Sandia National Laboratories and the John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center) are conducting research to determine if current rules for design, inspection, and maintenance are suffiecient to ensure the safe operation of the aging fleet. Particular emphasis has been given to a phenomenon of multipel cracking that appears to be attribute of airpplanes that have been in service for some time. This phenomenon is commonly referred to aw Widespread Fatigure Damage (WFD). This report documents the strain gage testing of the Boeing 737 airplane acquired by AANC.
