Summary:

The change in spacing between ribs in a wing plane may entail (1) change in air pressure, both in distribution and amount, (2) change of fiber stress in the fabric and the ribs, unless they be so altered in dimensions as to keep their stresses constant. The aerodynamic effect just stated should be studied in the wind tunnel, or still better in full-scale flight, with pressure collectors at many points on a median section of the wing. The stress relations to the fabric and the rib will be considered in some detail here.
