Stressed‐Skin Wooden Construction: Weight and Strength Compared with Aluminium Alloys

Abstract

IN discussing possibilities of new uses for wood and plastics in aircraft construction, emphasis is often laid on production problems and economic questions—shortage of aluminium, for instance. But the problem of weight is so important that it is quite impossible to consider new ways of aeroplane designing without touching it.
