Extract

This note suggests a method, suitable for stressing purposes, of obtaining a fuselage air-load distribution, for a swept-back wing aircraft. The method is basically that given in Ref. 1. Mach number effect on the aerodynamic centre position is discussed and an approximate method of allowing for this is suggested. A numerical example is given.
