Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

An aircraft battle-damage repair (BDR) program is described that provides for the assessment and repair of battle damage and the return of badly damaged aircraft to their home bases. The program methodology is based on the use of time-saving temporary repairs and associated training and materials provision. BDR is shown to require knowledge of damage mechanisms and specifications for the minimum effective requirements for BDR support, and the method can facilitate the return of 50 percent of damaged aircraft within 24 hours.
