Re: Martin 2-0-2
The aircraft was non-pressurized but was considered a long range airliner.
A fatal crash in 1948 revealed a serious structural problem in the wings.
Structural [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] was the problem in a major wing spar.
Alloy [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]-T6 was used, which is susceptible to stress-corrosion cracking and low toughness.
The airliner was grounded and modifications were made.
The wing components were redesigned and the engines replaced.
The changed type was designated the Martin 2-0-2A.

Re: Martin 2-0-2
Despite the announcement of these large orders, the contract terms allowed the airlines to cancel them without any penalty.[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]
The 2-0-2 was unpressurised, unlike the competing [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
Therefore, as delays in production built up, all airlines except Northwest, TWA, LAN and LAV called their orders and only 31 2-0-2s and 12 2-0-2As were actually delivered to the airlines.

Re: Martin 2-0-2
The 202 was the first airplane subjected to the CAA's then new 'Accelerated Service Test', introduced May 15, 1947.
In this test an airliner was to undergo a rigorous 150-hour test, attempting to squeeze one year's service into a week to ten day's flying.
The 202 made such a test visiting about 50 cities in 7 days.
At each city comprehensive inspections were made of the aircraft systems to assess how wear or malfunction would occur .

Re: Martin 2-0-2
TWA and Northwest, initial customers of the 2-0-2, eventually sold their Martin 2-0-2s to California Central and Pioneer Airlines.
Later, [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] acquired many of the 2-0-2's as part of the company's expansion plans, beginning June 1, 1955. Eventually they acquired a total of 18 aircraft.
Only one of this type of aircraft is known to survive, at the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
