Summary:

Since metal-truss wing spars are coming into general use in the airplane industry, it is necessary that rational methods for their design be developed.

The purpose of the study recorded in this thesis was to develop improvements in the current methods for the calculation of the loads in the members of metal-truss wing spars which are subjected to combined bending and compression.
