Charts for the Minimum-Weight Design of Multiweb Wings in Bending

Abstract

A method for the calculation for the buckling stress of a multiweb wing in bending is presented, and design charts based on this method are developed for the minimum-weight design of multiweb wings of 24S-T aluminum-alloy sheet, extruded 75S-T aluminum alloy, and extruded 0-1HTA magnesium alloy. These charts make possible the design of the lightest wings of this type for a wide range of design requirements. An example of the use of the charts is given.
