Excerpt from Aeroplane Structural Design: A Book for Designers, Draughtsmen Students

Although it may appear to be unnecessary, yet it is thought advisable to begin by glancing at the several components of an aeroplane, casually noting their functions, and describing very brieﬂy any points of interest regarding them.

This is followed by a typical example of an aeroplane of medium size in which all the strength calculations necessary to the complete design of the aeroplane are clearly shown, as this is more instructive than a bare statement of methods without examples showing their application.

The factors of safety or loads used, are based on the results of model experiments, full scale work, or mathematical investigation by various authorities.

For a given wing area, it is thought that a commercial aeroplane should be just as strong in its structure as a war machine. The latter must be able to effect a safe landing when various Wires or members have been damaged through enemy action; while in the case of the former, it is important that the life of the machine should be as long as possible on grounds of efficiency and economy.
