Study Notes
- Aircraft have evolved greatly over the last century.
- Developments in aeronautical engineering are divided into aerodynamics, power plant engineering, control/navigation, airframe engineering, and structural design.
- Power plants have gone through two major developments: the light yet powerful engine system and the jet engine.
- The biplane construction with wire bracing was the most notable feature of aircraft construction for some years.
- The biplane era lasted until the 1930s when metal became the prime aerospace material.
- The "Warren Girder" design was a structure that featured 4 horizontal longerons supported by vertical struts and wire bracing.
- The "Warren Girder" principle was copied to the internal framework of monoplane wings.
- Early designs were far from optimized, characterizing the transition period between wire-frame structures and semi-monocoque structures.
- Wood was used for its high specific strength and stiffness in early aircraft construction.
- The composite era may induce further leaps in structural design.
