The list of aircraft accidents and incidents caused by structural failures summarizes notable accidents and incidents such as the 1933 United Airlines Chesterton Crash due to a bombing and a 1964 B-52 test that landed after the vertical stabilizer broke off. Loss of structural integrity during flight can be caused by:
The aircraft was unable to avoid the fire truck and struck it with its right hand engine, killing both fire fighters aboard the firetruck and causing the right main landing gear of the aircraft to collapse and the right hand engine separating from the collision, which started a fire and substantial damage.
There are two generic types of aircraft structure, safe life and fail safe. The former is one that has low residual strength if a primary load-bearing member should fail, whereas the latter has alternative load paths so that if a primary load-bearing member cracks, residual strength remains because the loads can be assumed by adjacent members.
The aircraft caught fire and was damaged beyond repair. All 379 passengers and crew were evacuated from the aircraft. Five of the six crew members aboard the Coast Guard aircraft were killed. The Japan Coast Guard aircraft it collided with was participating in relief efforts following the 2024 Noto earthquake the previous day.
In the event of a failure, the aircraft would remain in a controllable state and allow the pilot to take over and complete the journey and perform a safe landing. Fault-tolerant systems avoid service failure when faults are introduced to the system. An example may include control systems for ordinary nuclear reactors. The normal method to ...
Fault detection, isolation, and recovery (FDIR) is a subfield of control engineering which concerns itself with monitoring a system, identifying when a fault has occurred, and pinpointing the type of fault and its location. Two approaches can be distinguished: A direct pattern recognition of sensor readings that indicate a fault and an analysis ...
Following an engine shutdown, a precautionary landing is usually performed with airport fire and rescue equipment positioned near the runway. The prompt landing is a precaution against the risk that another engine will fail later in the flight or that the engine failure that has already occurred may have caused or been caused by other as-yet unknown damage or malfunction of aircraft systems ...
For example, the thrust reverser system could be identified by its ATA code 78-30. Untimely deployment of thrust reverser would be a hazard, which could be assigned an identifier based on ATA code 78-30. FHA results are coordinated with the system design process as aircraft functions are allocated to aircraft systems.
