As in stands in today’s modern age with all the technological
advancement and knowledge of materials, the aviation industry is evolving in
all aspects creating the necessity for the advancement of maintenance as well. The aircraft fuselage is a very important unit and largest of all, which
carries passengers and cargo. Several analysis have been carried out in regards
to the substitution of aluminum alloys for composite materials as the structural
material for most commercial fuselage construction. This move has been backed
based on results of extensive analysis and broad research while considering both
the positive and negative points, which we will analyze in part 1. Maintenance is a very important aspect of an aircraft service life simply
because it directly affects how much time the aircraft spends on the runway and
hanger meaning it is vital to the productivity of the aircraft. Maintenance errors
for the past several years have been kept to a minimum of about 5 percent, which is very much effective.
