Summary:

The use of static testing, or, as it is more commonly called, sand loading, has been very much extended during the war, and some countries now require a sand load of every new type of machine before accepting it for general use by their air services. A static test admittedly cannot replace a stress analysis, especially if, as is usually the case, sand loading is only to be carried out for one condition, but it is useful as a check and as a means of detecting faulty workmanship and unsuspected weaknesses in fittings and other small parts not readily susceptible of analysis. The sand load should be considered as a check to be applied only after the stress analysis has been carried through with all possible refnement of method., and not at all as a substitute for the calculations or as an excuse for shirking them.
