Structural fatigue
Structural fatigue
(OP)
I am looking for information on the structural fatigue problems that occurred in the wings of Beechcraft early model 35's. This would be especially in the 1947-1948 production years. I have found many things about the tail failure problems, but very little about the wing failures.
I know that Beech offered to replace the wings for a short time due to the design weakness, but dropped the offer as it was cost prohibitive for them. Any information will be greatly appreciated.
