CHAPTER 4. AIRCRAFT BASIC CONSTRUCTION . INTRODUCTION useless. All materials used to construct an AIRCRAFT must be reliable. Reliability minimizes the possibility of Naval AIRCRAFT are built to meet certain specified dangerous and unexpected failures. requirements. These requirements must be selected so they can be built into one AIRCRAFT . It is not possible for Many forces and structural stresses act on an one AIRCRAFT to possess all characteristics; just as it isn't AIRCRAFT when it is flying and when it is static. When it is possible for an AIRCRAFT to have the comfort of a static, the force of gravity produces weight, which is passenger transport and the maneuverability of a supported by the landing gear. The landing gear absorbs fighter. The type and class of the AIRCRAFT determine how the forces imposed on the AIRCRAFT by takeoffs and strong it must be built.

SHEAR Cutting a piece of paper with scissors is an example of a shearing action. In an aircraft structure, shear (fig. 4-1, view D) is a stress exerted when two pieces of
