Safe Access for Maintenance — Aero‐Docks Technique

Abstract

IN the early days of aviation aircraft were, by present standards, very small, and it was therefore not necessary to give much thought to the method of access to the aircraft. But after the Second World War the increasing size of passenger aircraft and their more sophisticated maintenance requirements resulted in a need for structures of varying heights which would enable the maintenance engineer to reach the higher areas of the aircraft. In addition, safety had become a much more important consideration, and it was unacceptable for engineers to work on primitive and unsafe structures.
