ABSTRACT:
A method for reducing the length of the forebody strakes along a fighter airplane involves modifying the outer contours of intermediate frame members. The original skin panels are removed. A strake contour portion on each intermediate frame member is then cut away. A replacement outer support will be secured to each intermediate frame member to fill the gap left by the cutting away of the strake contour portion. The replacement outer edge support is secured by fasteners and new skin panels then secured in place.
