What is a characteristic of the parallel layout?
What is a characteristic of the parallel layout?
Study Notes
Preferable the parallel layout is used due to its linear distribution of forces. This type of layout is used in fuselage manufacturing (lap-/butt-joint). Shifted Layout In the wing tank area the shifted layout is often used. This is done because of the higher surface pressure (fuel leak tightness
