I'm trying to find values for actual fabric tension (lbs/inch) as installed on an aircraft. I can find the minimum specs for breaking strength of new and old-at-the-limit fabric, but that's a breaking test, not an indication of the actual working loads (like how tight will it shrink, or the actual tension loads in flight) to size structure at the edge of the fabric.
