Some older types of aircraft design utilized open truss structure constructed of wood, steel, or aluminum tubing. [1]: 3–3 This type of structure is still in use in many lightweight aircraft using welded steel tube trusses. A box truss fuselage structure can also be built out of wood—often covered with plywood.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “Truss Structure Analysis, FBD2.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter. This diagram image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data .
Longerons, struts and stringers in a truss type fuselage structure [2]: 3–4 In an aircraft fuselage, stringers are attached to formers (also called frames) [3] and run in the longitudinal direction of the aircraft. They are primarily responsible for transferring the aerodynamic loads acting on the skin onto the frames and formers.
The bulkheads are coupled with longerons to make up the 43-foot-long center truss segment, designated the S0 truss segment. Nine such segments will eventually make up the 360-foot long truss for the station that will hold the four massive U.S. solar arrays, cooling radiators, associated electronics and batteries, and connecting lines.
The Warren truss is a prominent structural feature in hundreds of hastily constructed aircraft hangars in WW2. In the early parts of the war, the British and Canadian government formed an agreement known as the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan which used newly constructed airbases in Canada to train aircrew needed to sustain emerging air forces.

In aeronautics, bracing comprises additional structural members which stiffen the functional airframe to give it rigidity and strength under load. Bracing may be applied both internally and externally, and may take the form of struts, which act in compression or tension as the need arises, and/or wires, which act only in tension.
The fuselage structure was of the open channel truss type with steel members in the central part carrying wing, engine and undercarriage stresses and with dural elsewhere. It was covered in corrugated Alclad sheet. The two pilots were given an excellent view from their enclosed position in the extreme nose, having entered through an external ...
