Hello. Assume that a fighter aircraft flies at different altitudes i.e 5000 ft
and 25000 ft, and it maneuvers at exectly the same way. Does the altitude affect
the induced fatigue on the aircraft structure? I think it does due to the
difference of air density. Your archive doesn't answer this. Thank you!
