Aeroplane Structures, written by Alfred John Sutton Pippard and first published in 1919, is a comprehensive guide to the design and construction of aircraft. The book covers a wide range of topics related to aeroplane structures, including the principles of flight, the materials used in aircraft construction, and the various types of aircraft structures. The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of aircraft design and construction. The first section provides an overview of the principles of flight, including lift, drag, and thrust. It also covers the various types of aircraft, such as monoplanes, biplanes, and triplanes.The second section of the book focuses on the materials used in aircraft construction, including wood, metal, and fabric. It discusses the properties of these materials and how they are used to create strong, lightweight aircraft structures.The third section of the book covers the design and construction of aircraft wings, including their shape, size, and structure. It also discusses the various types of wing construction, such as single-spar, multi-spar, and cantilever wings.The fourth section of the book covers the design and construction of aircraft fuselages, including their shape, size, and structure. It also discusses the various types of fuselage construction, such as truss, monocoque, and semi-monocoque.The final section of the book covers the design and construction of aircraft tails, including their shape, size, and structure. It also discusses the various types of tail construction, such as the conventional tail, the V-tail, and the T-tail.Overall, Aeroplane Structures is a comprehensive guide to the design and construction of aircraft structures, providing valuable information for aircraft designers, engineers, and enthusiasts alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
