| Description | Flight service evaluation of composite inboard ailerons on the L-1011 are covered. Four shipsets of graphite/epoxy composite inboard ailerons were installed on L-1011 aircraft for this maintenance evaluation program. These include two Delta aircraft and two TWA aircraft. A fifth shipset of composite ailerons were installed in 1980 on Lockheed's flight test L-1011. A visual inspection was also conducted on these components. No visible damage was observed on any of the composite ailerons, and no maintenance action has occurred on any of the parts except for repainting of areas with paint loss. Flight hours on the airline components at the time of inspection ranged from 2886 to 4190 hours, after approximately 1 year of service. |
