Methods of Strength‐Testing Aeroplane Wings: Recent Types of Test Made at the R.A.E. and Reasons for Adopting Full‐Span Tests

Abstract

THE testing of an increasing number of wings of greatly varying size, design and construction has emphasized the need for careful consideration of the object of the test in relation to the design of the wing structure to ensure that the most suitable type of specimen is provided for test.
