In both the Marske Design Manual (page G-2) and Hollmann's Modern Aircraft Design Volume One(page 74) there are descriptions of calculating airloads on a wing rib by using a triangle. The dimensions of this triangle are based on either wing loading or weight. I am looking for a better description of this bau have not found one in the NACA reports or in the older text books. There are other ways to do this calculation now but I was looking for an alternate way to do calculate torsional loads and thought this might do it. Yes, I know Hollmann has been discussed here before LOL.
