Airplane strength calculations and static tests in Russia : an attempt at standardization
A 1928 NASA technical report, drawn from the NASA Technical Reports Server, setting out a proposed standard for airplane strength calculations and static load tests, probably for aircraft engineers and designers in Russia. The pictures are line diagrams in a plain engineering style: profiles of wing and tail-end shapes labelled a to f, load distribution graphs with hatched areas and dimension call-outs, and airfoil sections with angle annotations. A designer might take their clean technical lettering, dimensioned schematic layouts and restrained hatched shading as a model for diagram work.
