Fatigue life monitoring program of RMAF MiG-29 / Wahyu Kuntjoro ... [et al.]

The Royal Malaysian Airforce (RMAF) operates one squadron of MiG-29 which were designed on Safe Life principle. RMAF conducts a fatigue life monitoring program to these airplanes. This activity is conducted based on the experience of having the fatigue life monitoring program to the RMAF F/A-18D. Th...
