Just wondering about this.:ermm:
Lets say you have a fuselage constructed with plywood formers, longerons, and a plywood skin.
What which would have the "best" strength/weight? A lot of longerons with thin ply, or a few longerons with thicker ply?
Then there is the extreme case of no longerons and the thickest ply which (assuming the longerons and ply have the same density) would be the same as no ply and a solid covering of longerons.
