North American Aviation refers to a historical collection of aircraft models developed and manufactured by the North American Aviation company. This category encompasses a range of iconic airplanes, including trainers, fighters, and bombers, that played significant roles in military aviation history, particularly during World War II and the Korean War. These aircraft are characterized by their robust construction, advanced engineering for their time, and versatile performance, making them foundational to modern aerial combat and training doctrines.
Documentation for North American Aviation aircraft typically includes detailed technical manuals covering operation, maintenance, and repair. These resources provide essential information on engine systems, airframe structures, electrical and hydraulic components, and flight controls. Illustrated parts breakdowns, troubleshooting guides, and performance specifications are also common, enabling pilots, mechanics, and restorers to maintain these historical aircraft in operational condition and understand their engineering complexities.
This manual provides comprehensive structural repair information for North American Aviation trainer airplanes, specifically covering the AT-6A, AT-6B, AT-6C, SNJ-3, and SNJ-4 series. These aircraft were developed under various contracts, including AC-12969, AC-15977, W535 AC-19192, W535 AC-29319, DA W535 AC-8, DA-W535 AC-2799. Manufactured by North American Aviation, Inc. at facilities in Dallas, Inglewood, and Kansas City, these robust trainers represent a significant part of aviation history, built for reliability and performance in their intended roles.
This publication supplements the basic manual, FHB-23-1, providing essential information for the X-15 aircraft. Specifically, this supplement addresses control surface deflections observed during captive-flight checks of the MH-96 adaptive flight control system installed on Airplane AF56-6672. The analysis confirms that the maximum control surface deflections encountered during these checks remain within the established captive flight limitations outlined in Section V of the basic manual.
