The problems of aging aircraft are worldwide. Hence, actions to overcome or prevent these problems should be taken in international collaboration. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Netherlands Civil Aviation Department (RLD) have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation in the area of structural integrity, with specific reference to research on problems in the area of aging aircraft. The paper gives an overview of the research currently carried out on this subject in the Netherlands. The work described is largely done at the National Aerospace Laboratory (NLR). The major part is done under contracts with RLD and FAA, as part of the cooperation agreement mentioned above.
