Summary:

Logical analysis of a box wing necessitates the allowance for the contribution of the drag spars to the torsional strength of the structure. A rigorous analysis is available in the use of the Method of Least Work. The best logical method of analysis is that applying Prandtl's Membrane Analogy. The results so obtained vary by a negligible amount from those obtained by the rigourous method. The stresses in the members of a box wing should be calculated by the membrane analogy method, but should be subject to verification by test before being used in design.
