[0029] Step S1, dividing each aircraft structure area into an internal closed area, an internal semi-closed area and an open exposed area according to the relative humidity of the aircraft structure area and whether it is exposed to the marine atmosphere;

[0030] Step S2: testing each aircraft structure area, including:

[0031] Step S21, performing a humidity and heat resistance test with set parameters on each aircraft structure area, wherein the number of cycles for the aircraft structure area belonging to the internal closed area is 10 times, the number of cycles for the aircraft structure area belonging to the internal semi-closed area is 15 times, and the number of cycles for the aircraft structure area belonging to the open exposed area is 10 times;
