The most widely accepted wing reinforcement system in the world. This modification, installed on hundreds of Beech 99’s and King Air’s, has proven totally effective in combating the effects of fatigue in wing spars, providing at the same time an independent, redundant loadpath. The two catastrophic wing failures involving T-34 aircraft have focused attention on the problem of metal fatigue in single spar wing structures and the dire consequences that can result. All aircraft are subject to fatigue damage, particularly unpressurized models that operate in the lower levels of the atmosphere where gust intensity is most severe and frequency of occurrence is the greatest. Here is a modification that protects you, your passengers, and your aircraft.
IN-FLIGHT INSURANCE THAT GUARANTEES PEACE OF MIND The ‘Saunders Spar Strap’, by Aviadesign, is an F.A.A. approved wing reinforcement designed to combat metal fatigue in wing main spars. It prolongs the life of the existing structure indefinitely and it eliminates the possibility of wing separation. HOW DOES IT DO THIS ? It drops the stress levels in the existing spar by 40% reducing the strain in the material to a level that extends the fatigue life indefinitely. The strap creates an independent redundant loadpath that eliminates the possibility of wing separation in the event of a failure of the spar cap, bathtub fitting, bolt, nut, or center section carry through structure. The structural capacity of the installation exceeds the Federal Aviation Regulations requirements for “Fail-Safe” design
THIS IS SOMETHING YOU NEED ! Maybe you would like a new interior, or a paint job, or the latest integrated GPS/Moving Map/Comm, but do you need them ? Why do you need this installation ? Because the most critical system on your aircraft has NO BACKUP in the event of a failure. The wing on your aircraft is a single loadpath structure, there is NO REDUNDANCY! Failure of the lower front spar cap will be catastrophic. Failure of the lower front spar attach fitting (bathtub) will be catastrophic. Failure of the lower front spar attach bolt will be catastrophic. Failure of the lower front spar nut of the attach bolt will be catastrophic. Failure of the center section carry through structure will be catastrophic. None of the above critical components can be inspected on your walk-around, and unlike your engine or your controls, none of these items can be checked prior to take-off. THE COST OF THIS INSTALLATION IS A ‘ONE TIME PREMIUM’ THAT PAYS OFF EVERY TIME THAT YOU AND YOUR PASSENGERS FLY IN YOUR AIRCRAFT !
