Strength of Metal Aircraft Elements Revised Edition, June 1951

Abstract

Since many aircraft manufacturers supply airplanes for both commercial and military use, standardization of the requirements of the various Governmental procuring or certificating agencies is of direct benefit to the manufacturer. Although the types and purposes of military aircraft often differ greatly from those of commercial aircraft, necessitating certain differences in the structural requirements, the requirements for strength of materials and elements have for some time been nearly identical. This publication has therefore been prepared to eliminate the necessity for referring to different handbooks and bulletins in calculating the allow- able stresses or minimum strength of typical structures. With a few exceptions (which are noted in the appropriate places) the material contained herein is acceptable to the Air Forces, Bureau of Aeronautics of the Navy, and the Civil Aeronautics Administration.
