Dents on fuselage?
Posted by the_bartdziur@reddit | aviation | View on Reddit | 198 comments
Today during my flight from DXB to SGN I noticed some dents on the upper part of the a350 fuselage.
I am not sure if that’s just a shade or there were really some dents there. What’s Reddit’s hive mind opinion on that?
Shed-End@reddit
Every single aircraft has a Dent and Buckle chart where it’s all measured and recorded.

I really want to open a used high end luggage store called Dent and Buckle now.

That's true. You look at some of the old air force. Fighters from World War 2 like the B52's, they look like your grandmother with all those wrinkles. Constant pressurization and depressurization, not to mention aeronautical stresses.
troglodyte@reddit
WWII military planes mostly weren't pressurized, and B52s were introduced in 1952. You might be confusing the B52 with the B17 Flying Fortress or B25 Mitchell. The B29 Superfortress was the main exception; while there were pressurized high altitude variants of certain fighters (I know there were pressurized BF109 and Spitfire variants, for example), the Superfortress was designed from the ground up to be pressurized.
That simplicity was a big deal in their durability, since a lot of hits passed relatively harmlessly through the terrifyingly thin (seriously check it out if you ever have the chance) skin of, say, a Flying Fortress.

Not even remotely true. Most airline aircraft do, but tons of operators don't. Especially private aircraft and charters. A lot of aircraft manuals don't even have dent and buckle allowable limits. I know this because half of my job is developing one-off repairs for dents that don't have allowable limits. Accepted dents do need to be tracked, but not everyone uses a chart for this and it's up to the operator and their maintenance program how it is tracked.
Shed-End@reddit
The subject is commercial aircraft……..
PhantomPhanatic@reddit
You used an overly general statement: "Every single aircraft." Just calling it out.
quietflyr@reddit
Just to add on to this, dents and buckles which are within the allowable size, depth, location, and sharpness limits are recorded and left in place.
Dents which are outside the allowable limits must be repaired.
If this were an actual dent it would be around 10 feet/3 m long, and that's not going to be allowable or even deferrable.
Strict_Pipe_5485@reddit
You'd be surprised how bad they can get in particular areas and still be within limits. I've seen one that our crew thought the airframe would be written off or "retired early".
Boeing desk engineers said "noted, ok to continue"
nwpsilencer@reddit
You'd be even more surprised if you saw some of the shit I've seen done to the forward and aft wing spars that Boeing engineers said "Yup, that's fine"
Strict_Pipe_5485@reddit
Ever had Flight Ops call down after the pilot gets home and can't sleep because
Ops: "he thinks the landing might have been a bit hard reckons it was 2.1G"
Apprentice: "yeah mate 2.1G is F-ing hard, how did the passengers walk off without wheelchairs?"
Ops: "dunno i suspect this'll be interesting"
Shortly after there's a whole crew of experienced engineers staring and pondering why the fuselage doesn't quite look right but just can't place it when the smart ass apprentice who took the phone call walks over with a grin and says "I know why it looks like a banana now!, I'm opening betting for how hard they put it down and how long it'll be out grounded!"
nwpsilencer@reddit
You guys let the apprentices answer the phones? That's a crew chief thing where I'm at, cause it's next to impossible to get them off their asses.
getagrip1212@reddit
Quick question, do they pull dents on aircraft the same way as on car, like with plungers and dildos type gadgets, or are there more specialised equipment? I would imagine removing a whole panel from an aircraft takes more time than on something like my grandma's Buick.
quietflyr@reddit
No, they don't pull dents. On aluminum structures, that kind of working the material weakens it. The typical repair for a dent on metal structure beyond the limits is to cut out the dented section and splice in a new piece of skin with rivets or bolts.
On composite it's often similar, but they may not cut all the way through the structure before splicing new material in.
BlueberryAmbitious69@reddit
Not true. There are electromagnetic dent pullers for hail damage on corporate aircraft on the fuselage. If it dents the wings which are anywhere from 1/8th thick to 1/4 then it’s going to be considered a loss. I’m more than sure commercial aircraft have something similar. The dents have to be under a certain depth and if questionable get NDI.
quietflyr@reddit
Cool, I was not familiar with this process. Sounds like it does have some limitations, but it sounds like great tech. We never used this in our organization, but I'm kinda surprised.
Thanks for pointing it out.
I'm curious about things like disbonding in bonded structures (like honeycomb sandwich panels, which can be verified via ultrasonic, but usually a through transmission technique which requires access to both sides), and I'm curious what the cold work implications would be for fatigue on overlapping repairs. Maybe that's all been sussed out and published, but I haven't read it.
But pounding out dents in, say, heat treated 7050 aluminum like you would on some car, is not going to result in proper structural integrity.
BlueberryAmbitious69@reddit
Yes. Vehicles are completely different. Anything that has honeycomb is usually replaced but I have seen repairs where you drill a hole and basically do a pointless dent repair than do a flush cherry max for the hole. It’s pretty rare.
MmmSteaky@reddit
Yeah, SWA’s 737-300s and -500s were about 85% mend plates and rivets by the end.
getagrip1212@reddit
Super informative, thank you!
Disastrous_Drop_4537@reddit
Thats at least 4 frame caps that are TOAST with a dent that size
quietflyr@reddit
Exactly. Makes me laugh that people are like "oh, it's nothing".
Also funny that people are like "it's just hail damage" lol on composite structures, being caught in a hailstorm can do millions of dollars of damage to an aircraft.

Yea... But this is an A350 meaning a composite airframe. "Dents" are far less normal and acceptable due to risk of layer delamination.

Pilot here. Ask to speak to one of the pilots when you land and show them the picture, just respectfully mention you thought they might want to know. It’s probably logged as fuselage damage but just in case it wasn’t noticed previously, they’ll verify and call maintenance if required.
maxehaxe@reddit
Hundreds of PAX have it in their IFE camera views every day. Would've been a little odd if it hasn't been noticed by professionals tbh

Super strange location for dents, usually they’re all around doors, cargo doors and lower fuselage.

TwistPrior6897@reddit
Could pressure changes cause dents? Maybe ice? Or just weakened metal? I'm curious.
Overpin@reddit
Not anything you should/could see from the taxi camera at least, aircraft fuselages tend to stay quite smooth. I just can’t figure out what could have hit that spot, except a maintenance lift or maybe deicing.
nwpsilencer@reddit
I can easily see that being from someone hitting it with a scissor or boom lift.
JayHag@reddit
When planes are sitting on the ground during storms they can get hail damage on top.
SilkySifaka@reddit
I was on a flight years ago when I noticed just after boarding huge writing stating “this must be stripped”., with an arrow going to what I assumed were rivets. I pointed it out to the pilot and fifteen minutes later we were deboarded and the pilot came out saying to the copilot that this plane should never have left the hanger.
scheisskopf53@reddit
Wow, how could they overlook it?
gromm93@reddit
Or the flight attendants for that matter.
But it's also kind of human to overlook the obvious too.
atlien0255@reddit
It’s also human for everyone to assume another human has noticed and checked the issue and verified all is good.
SilkySifaka@reddit
I have no idea. It was on the wing and I assumed it didn’t mean to strip paint lol.
aBearHoldingAShark@reddit
Where was it? Was it on the wing?

sofixa11@reddit
I did this once on a Bulgaria Air A220 whose nose had all the paint scratched off, and the stewardess looked like I'm the 500th person to tell her that and rolled her eyes, thanked me and said they know.
Another time on a United 737 landing in a storm, we were hit by lightning on the wing, so same thing, told cabin crew (called them to the seat because we were strapped in due to turbulence and landing soon). I thought they already saw it, but preferred to be sure because the wing had a dark spot that seemed to be getting bigger. They were super thankful, directly instructed people nearby to open the window blinds so they can inspect the damage. And then rushed to the cockpit, and afterwards came back to thank us again and reassure everything is fine.

Very normal. Hail can cause this. Or the pressure differences make it a bit weaker over time showing this effect.
Nothing to worry about.
quietflyr@reddit
Hello, aerospace engineer here, formerly an aircraft structural integrity specialist.
You are full of shit.
If this were a dent, it wouldn't be from hail. Think of the scale here. The fuselage is 20 feet wide. Those dents would be on the order of 2 feet by 10 feet. Hail doesn't do that.
And "pressure differences over time" don't "make it a bit weaker" and cause 10 foot long dents. Also this doesn't happen on composite structures like this.
And certainly, if this was a 10 foot long dent, it's not "nothing to worry about".
Every aircraft will have damage limits and allowable dent sizes, and this would be too big for any aircraft I've ever worked on, by an order of magnitude.
Don't comment stuff like this when you don't know what you're talking about.
As an aside, I'm subscribing to the camera artefact theory here. I can't see a situation where someone would miss actual damage this big, nor what would cause it.
LeftInTheLumberYard@reddit
Said with all the tact of an AE too!
quietflyr@reddit
I'm a very kind and tactful man in nearly all situations.
But I do not use that part of my personality when someone is speaking authoritatively on a topic they do not understand.

Wdwdash@reddit

Misophonic4000@reddit
My point is that I don't think CFRPs dent like that
evthrowawayverysad@reddit
Yeah I think you're right. Not a material scientist but it makes sense in my mind that CFRPs can deform, but can only maintain the deformation (dent) if the carbon structure has 'broken', since carbon has almost no plasticity (brittle).
Pkrdays@reddit
He is absolutely right. CFRP fuselage like the one on the A350 or B787 doesn’t deform like that, when you have an impact it pops right out and you can have delamination between layers but is not visible from the outside. That’s why we have the line inspection tool roller to assess damages on this aircraft, is kinda like a CT scan. Source: Been working as an engineer on the a350 for the past 5 years.

Passenger here, this all sounds extremely worrisome (you know, the weaker over time thing) and not normal at all. Can you explain?

Nothing about that is normal. Why are you saying nonsense?
mdang104@reddit
Definitely not hail dents. It wouldn’t show like that on CF. Hail also wouldn’t looking like that on an aluminum fuse.
UW_Ebay@reddit
Doesn’t the 350 have a CF fuselage? If so I would not expect it to dent similarly to aluminum skin.
Old_Artichoke1133@reddit
Wait... How did you get this view?
UW_Ebay@reddit
Are you asking me or OP? Regardless some airbus planes have tail cameras like this and it can be viewed from the IFE screen. Some 777s have it on the landing gear as well but depends on carrier

HappyBappyAviation@reddit
Hi, airline pilot here (fly the CRJ currently but same principles). No, not hail damage. In flight hail damage affects the front of the aircraft and ground hail damage affects the entire aircraft and looks like a golf ball.
What we're seeing is likely an imperfection in the skin and entirely normal. If you look at the B-52 (extreme example) or something like a 767 you will see slight deformations all over the place and is entirely normal. You likely wouldn't see this deformation on the ground due to the lack of stress on the airframe. Without this little bit of stretch, the skin might just stretch and deform entirely out of limits. This helps protect it.
CommuterType@reddit
You should stick to just flying airplanes and avoid speculating what’s wrong with them
HappyBappyAviation@reddit
Uhm. Part of our training is to identify and report damage/malfunctions to the airplane. That requires speculation even when we're there. Sure I'm speculating while looking at a photo, but everyone else is saying hail and I am 100% confident it's not hail. Why are you so negative and condescending? Do you have better insight? Do you disagree? Lets hear your take.
ABoutDeSouffle@reddit
I mean, the guy is a bit very abrasive, but he's got a point - the B-52 has a sheet aluminium skin, the A-350 is carbon fiber reinforced plastic. They would not behave the same.
HappyBappyAviation@reddit
That's fair. I wasn't thinking A350, tbh. But yeah that's a good point. I guess the main point I was going for was it's not hail, but likely something accounted for. I think I saw someone suggest a camera flair which probably explains it. I just wish they said that and not just "STFU Stupid Head". Like come on, really?
ABoutDeSouffle@reddit
Yeah, true. Dunno why he exploded in your face like that, completely uncalled for.
CommuterType@reddit
I'll tell you why. He throws out his pilot credentials for credibility the proceeds to lay down some utter bullshit.
"What we're seeing is likely an imperfection in the skin and entirely normal" Utter bullshit
"You likely wouldn't see this deformation on the ground due to the lack of stress on the airframe. Without this little bit of stretch, the skin might just stretch and deform entirely out of limits. This helps protect it." Utter completely fabricated and based on absolutely nothing bullshit.

fugg-life@reddit
someone please please correct me if i’m wrong because i’ve been out of the aerospace game for a long time and i wasn’t an airframe engineer
but i think some degree of temporary deformation in skin panels is normal during flight because of the intense loading? i once attended a stress test of a fuselage for an aircraft in dev and it surprised me how many areas of the skin temporarily buckled before springing back. that’s all by design though because the skin, by virtue of the stiffening members underneath (the stringers and frames), is broken down into smaller shear panels to distribute these loads as they occur.
this article shows some examples of buckled skin panels in flight and talks a bit about why it happens.
ABoutDeSouffle@reddit
Not sure either, but that B-52 is an old bomber with a conventional aluminium skin. The A-350 is carbon fiber-reinforced polymer. I doubt it would deform like that - and if it did, it wouldn't be healthy.
CounterSimple3771@reddit

KonixSpeedking@reddit
For those saying they’re just dents, those are way too big and sharp to not be repaired if they were on an aluminium fuselage, and carbon fibre has way tighter restrictions on dent limits. Not to mention it really doesn’t dent like that.
So either it happened on the flight and that plane is going to be grounded for repairs real soon, or it’s a trick of the light, maybe something on the lens?
greatlakesailors@reddit
There are several types of damage / contamination to a camera lens that can look like that. Just look at your car's backup camera on any wet day for an example. One small hailstone leaving a chip or scratch on the tail camera could cause this effect.
oojiflip@reddit
I think it's less camera artifact and more trick of the light. You can tell the sun is almost dead ahead of the aircraft, which would drastically increase the dent effect due to shadows forming at tiny angles instead of if the sun was hitting from the top down. Additionally, the dents appear to deform the light in a way that's consistent with the rest of the fuselage around, rather than a camera artifact which wouldn't have the same effect. See below pic for reference of the sun hitting at a really shallow angle amplifying the effect of very small dents

That's part of the design.
That flat surface is there so that the horizontal stabilizer can move. On larger jets, like that 777, the entire horizontal stabilizer moves up or down to trim the aircraft (apply a constant force to relieve pressure from the flight controls.)
It's the same on, for example, the 737.
