Boeing to validate predicted life of B-1 Bomber fleet with fatigue test | PlaneTalking Live

Boeing has begun a five-year fatigue test on the
wing of a U.S. Air Force B-1 bomber to validate
the predicted life of the bomber fleet, currently
forecasted to be 2050.
The test also will reveal potential areas of
concern for which Boeing and the Air Force can
develop maintenance and repair plans.
