| Description | This report covers flight evaluation of composite inboard ailerons on the L-1011 under Contract NAS 1-15069 for a period of five years. This is the fourth annual report of the maintenance evaluation program, and covers the period from May 1985 when the third yearly inspections were completed, through July 1986. 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 was installed in 1980 on Lockheed's flight test L-1011. One instance of minor damage was observed on one of the composite ailerons and was repaired. No other maintenance actions have occurred on any of the composite parts except for repainting of areas with paint loss. Flight hours on the airline components at the time of inspection ranged from 12,051]en1] to 14,046 hours, after approximately 4 years of service. |
