Original abstract
The paper concerns the investigation of causes of the failure of structural components of small civil aircraft, inclusive of ultra-light aircraft and gliders. The case studies were selected such that they cover, as far as possible, the most frequent causes of failure of aircraft and their components, in other words design errors, fabrication imperfection, unanticipated service conditions and inadequate maintenance, as well as the most frequent failure mechanisms, i.e. fatigue and overloading. The aim was to point out not only the causes of failures, which frequently result in great material losses and even loss of life, but also ways of forestalling them.
