Abstract This article focuses on failure analyses of aircraft components from a metallurgical and materials engineering standpoint, which considers the interdependence of processing, structure, properties, and performance of materials. It discusses methodologies for conducting aircraft investigations and inspections and emphasizes cases where metallurgical or materials contributions were causal to an accident event. The article highlights how the failure of a component or system can affect the associated systems and the overall aircraft. The case studies in this article provide examples of aircraft component and system-level failures that resulted from various factors, including operational stresses, environmental effects, improper maintenance/inspection/repair, construction and installation issues, manufacturing issues, and inadequate design.

This paper presents a review of present efforts to deal with the visual and human performance factors involved in low level, high speed flight. The program is being developed by the 162nd Fighter Weapons School, USAFR, Tucson, Arizona, in conjunction with the Human Resources Laboratory, Williams AFB Arizona. The underlying structure of this training program is presented as well as some of the training methodologies.
