Excerpt from Aeroplane Structural Design: A Book for Designers, Draughtsmen Students Several valuable treatises are already published dealing with the problems of sustentation, stability, and aerodynamics generally, but it will readily be admitted that if the safety of heavier than air craft is to be assured, it is essential that the structural strength of the aeroplane should receive adequate attention. Much of the existing published matter dealing with the strength of construction of aeroplanes is thought to be inadequate from the standpoint of the designer and stress draughtsman, and it is the Authors' experience that draughtsmen generally have more or less hazy ideas and views regarding the loading of aeroplanes, and more generally the methods of estimation of the strength of aeroplanes under such loading. It is, therefore, with the idea of dispelling this gloom that the proposal to publish the following matter in as palatable a form as possible, originated. To the purely academical and mathematically inclined reader, much of the matter may be lacking in direct interest, but it is hoped that the designer or the draughtsman who is responsible for the strength calculations of aeroplanes from a practical design point of view may derive considerable benefit. Utility, simplicity, and clearness throughout have been consistently aimed at, and it is hoped that this end also has been attained. Much matter such as is usually found in the standard textbooks on Structures, Graphics, and Strength of Materials, has been purposely omitted from this volume, it being thought that useless duplication of such matter would be less acceptable from the reader's standpoint. No one book in any science can ever be said to have reached finality, and the Authors realize that in such a science as Aeronautics, which is even yet in some respects only in its infancy, many advances are bound to be effected in the light of further experience.
