  2. Rib (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rib_(aeronautics)

    Wing ribs of a de Havilland DH.60 Moth. In an aircraft, ribs are forming elements of the airframe structure of a wing, especially in traditional construction.. By analogy with the anatomical definition of "rib", the ribs attach to the main spar, and by being repeated at frequent intervals, form a skeletal shape for the wing.

  3. Spar (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spar_(aeronautics)

    The spar carries flight loads and the weight of the wings while on the ground. Other structural and forming members such as ribs may be attached to the spar or spars, with stressed skin construction also sharing the loads where it is used. There may be more than one spar in a wing or none at all.

  4. Longeron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longeron

    Interior of a Boeing/Stearman PT-17 showing small channel section stringers. In engineering, a longeron or stringer is a load-bearing component of a framework. The term is commonly used in connection with aircraft fuselages and automobile chassis. Longerons are used in conjunction with stringers to form structural frameworks. [1]

  5. Wingbox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingbox

    While internal wing structure commonly provides much of the strength via a combination of spars, ribs and stringers, the external skin typically carries a proportion of the loads too. On many aircraft, the inner volume of the wingbox has also been used to store fuel, which is commonly referred to as being a wet wing design. [1]

  6. Mast (sailing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mast_(sailing)

    The mast of a sailing vessel is a tall spar, or arrangement of spars, erected more or less vertically on the centre-line of a ship or boat. Its purposes include carrying sails, spars, and derricks, giving necessary height to a navigation light, look-out position, signal yard, control position, radio aerial or signal lamp. [1]

  7. Bracing (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracing_(aeronautics)

    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.

  8. Isogrid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isogrid

    Isogrid on the interior of the adapter connecting the Orion spacecraft to the Delta IV rocket for Exploration Flight Test 1. Isogrid is a type of partially hollowed-out structure formed usually from a single metal plate with integral triangular stiffening stringers.

  9. Gaff rig - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaff_rig

    For a given sail area a gaff rig has a shorter mast than a Bermudan rig.In short-ended craft with full body, heavy displacement and moderate ballast ratio, it is difficult to set enough sail area in the Bermudan rig without a mast of excessive height and a centre of effort (CE) too high for the limited stability of the hull.
