DESCRIPTION:
Composites are combinations of two or more physically distinct materials that enhance each other’s properties. The new modes of system integration and improved structural quality they offer may even produce a 30 percent more efficient ‘blended wing’ passenger plane. Since the Wright brothers made their first brief flight over 100 years ago, aircraft construction seems to have become stuck in a rut. Flying wings, once just a footnote in the history of air transport, could well become the aircraft of the 21st century. Flying Lightness paints a picture of a heroic century of aircraft development against the background of steadily increasing travel speeds. Best Dutch Book Design 2005.. Today, rapid advances in the field of composites are opening up new possibilities for optimizing aircraft configurations and revising structural principles
Good graphic walkthrough of a flying structure Arancha Second part after "Lightness". But a more precise approach and with a closer look to the e"how it works".Good for a more close up information to what the author is explaining.I believe is the best graphic tool i have seen to understand the concept of flying structures.
