Summary

The dangers and other disadvantages of using air pressure in the strength testing of pressurised fuselages are reviewed. A technique in which water is used instead of air is described, and its advantages considered. References are made to future test methods, and particularly to the need for the application of pressure combined with aerodynamic and inertia loads.
