The cells of giant airplanes
A 1928 NASA technical memorandum on giant aircraft design, a technical report issued for aeronautical engineers and researchers. The first picture is a three-view drawing of a giant monoplane with dimensioned plan, side and front elevations, while the second is a pair of graphs plotting span, wing area, wing loading and power loading against full load. Designers can take from these the clean dimensioned line drawing style and the simple two-axis chart layouts for showing how proportions scale with size.
