Extract

In the design of compression structures, the effect of lateral loading is usually ignored. This assumption has been justified where the structure has represented the wing skin of a conventional aircraft, in which the compressive end load due to bending is high, but the lateral load due to aerodynamic pressure is comparatively low.

However, in some cases the approximation is too crude, such as where the effect of the aerodynamic pressure is added to by pressurised fuel tanks together with the possibility of the accelerated weight of fuel. Such situations arise in supersonic transport aircraft where a considerable weight of fuel is carried in the wing and aerodynamic heating causes high compressive stresses in the skin.
