See moreThe problem considered is that of a swept wing, either conical or cylindrical, of arbitrary section, under any section, under any system of bending and torsion loads. The wing is assumed to consist of a non-buckling outer skin, a series of booms located along generators of the tubo, and a series of closely spaced ribs all parallel to the root section. The ribs of closely spaced ribs all parallel to the root section. The ribs are assumed to be rigid in their own planes but to offer no resistance to warping out of their planes. No restrictions is placed on either the taper or the sweep of the wing.
