The Company that built them, Dassault, are still in the game. Australia did the first comprehensive fatigue testing of the Airframe.    Nev

I think that test was done at GAF. I must have gone down there with a group  to have seen it in progress. It's incredible how structures can bend without permanent deformation. The B 707 wing tip could travel a total distance of 27 feet, the major part upwards.  Nev
