Abstract:
The paper discusses the necessity for development of adhesive bonding of aircraft skin panels to provide benefits over purely riveted structures. These benefits are shown to be in the areas of design and producibility and manufacturing and process control.

Tests to assure reliability of the fuselage and resistance to fatigue and corrosion are described. These tests utilize both conventional and recently developed techniques.

Further development and testing techniques are suggested.
