Designed Around High-Cycle Regional Operations
Saab reports fatigue testing on a static Saab 340 aircraft
exceeded 200,000 cycles, representing decades of typical
regional-aircraft operations.
Saab also states that metal bonding is used extensively
throughout the aircraft structure.
Structural & Aging Aircraft Support
Supporting Saab 340 Aircraft Through Continued Service
Production of the Saab 340 ended in 1999, but Saab continues
to support the fleet and reports substantial remaining
structural life in many aircraft.
Mature regional aircraft can still require structural
inspections, corrosion repair, review of previous repairs,
aging wiring work and avionics modernization.
AeroX structural capabilities include aircraft skin repair,
frame replacement, wing structures, seat track work,
structural modifications, engineering coordination and
traveling structural teams.
Combining structural work with avionics and aircraft
modernization can help operators address multiple needs
within one coordinated maintenance event.
