Yes a good point, but AFAIK, that was base metal fatigue, rather than joint failure. Also, look how well the rest of the airframe perfomed, even after such a massive failure of a major piece. That wa

If you get a welder to repair the sheetmetal on your Spitfire I would also reccomend a set of flanging pliers. They let you bend a flange around the repair area so the welded area is double thickness

Hmm, good points, but but the bottom line is strength and ease of application vs welding. Airframes have thin aluminum skin, but there are many other components that are substantial. The stringers, r

...and to which I reply that *NOTHING* is easier, faster, and cheaper than welding. I can't imagine drilling all kinds of holes, fuddling with rivets and so on, and I even have an air powered rivet g

As I recall, the cause of the airframe fatigue was the constant pressurization and depressurization that a typical Hawaiian Airliner was being put through (short flights between islands) Mitch D. Joh

I thought I might weigh in on this subject (epoxy vs welding), as I have formulated structural epoxy adhesives for 3M (aerospace and automotive) for 13 years or so. The main reason that structural b

There you have it folks, take your choice, but welding seems the winner! I will still consider adhesive/rivets as a footwell floorpan solution, but not for any serious load bearing usage. BTW, since
