Summary:

In the design of spars it often happens that the airfoil section will permit the use of a deeper spar than necessary for sufficient strength if the depth-breadth ration is to be kept within the limits conventional in beams, limits generally observed as permitting the use in computation of the ordinary beam formula.

The direction of lateral deflection is alternate between successive supports by theory and all tests. For this reason it is believed that rib spacing along the spar is more important in reducing lateral deflection than the distance between supports at the strut points. Additionally, within the limits of modern design any increase in distance between strut points can well be compensated for by spacing the ribs closer together, providing the ribs do furnish lateral support.
