The Rigging of Aeroplanes

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 August 2017

Extract

The rigging of aeroplanes, although not a subject necessitating extensive research work or particular scientific knowledge, is of paramount importance, in view of its effect on the safety, reliability, and performance of machines.

The mechanical principles involved are well known to the engineer, and their application rests to a great extent on experience.

In a word, practicability governs both construction and erection.
