	Design of Wood Aircraft Structures - ANC 18 Produced for both civil and military use by the US Dept of Defense, this manual is divided into three sections, designed as a whole to give an overview of wood aircraft construction. The first section presents the definitions of standard structural symbols used within the manual, and defines the difference between the strength and elastic properties of plywood elements and plywood panels. The next section looks at the strength and elatic properties of structural elements constructed of wood and plywood. The third section contains methods of structural analysis for the design of various aircraft components, especially taking into account the orthotropic properties of wood. The final section gives recommendations on the structural design of wood aircraft, with examples of how various manufacturers have treated the solution of specific detail design problems. The 234 pages are full of technical data, tables, graphs, charts, diagrams etc. Price: £18.00
