To prevent corrosion of military aircraft the design has to be performed with respect to a careful material selection and an effective surface protection treatment of the materials. Protective treatment on aircraft against moisture, humidity, salty atmosphere, industrial environment, hydraulic fluids, fuel, de-icing fluids, combat chemicals etc. is necessary to meet the operation requirements of the aircraft throughout its operational life. Occurring corrosion detected during maintenance shows that not in every case the requirements above can avoid corrosion problems. This report will show some selected examples of in-service corrosion under investigation of the causes. Inspection and repair methods are shown; further recommendations for corrosion prevention and control to reduce corrosion problems based on practical experiences will be given.
