DEF STAN 00-970 Requirements for the Design and Airworthiness of Composite Aircraft Structure

Authors: Paul J. Callus; DEFENCE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ORGANISATION VICTORIA (AUSTRALIA) PLATFORM SCIENCES LAB

Abstract:

One of the impediments to the introduction of composite structure into Australian Defence Force (ADF) aircraft is the difficulty in identifying those airworthiness requirements specific to these materials. The ADF uses a comparative approach where tenderers propose their own certification basis. This is assessed against the ADF comparative certification basis to ensure that all relevant issues are covered in adequate depth. The ADF comparative certification basis is DEF STAN 00-970 2 supplemented with AAP 7001.054 1. This basis was reviewed. Those requirements relevant to the airworthiness of composite structure were identified and are presented in this report. The requirements for any specific composite part will likely be a sub-set of these and must be developed on a case-by-case basis.
