Hello
for the calculation of a wood wing spar it is customary to subtract the weight of the wing from the total weight of the aircraft
Some authors (book "stress without tears" articles published in Kitplanes magazine) also propose to subtract everything that is carry by the wing regardless of its location
In the case that interests me the landing gear
But I understand that other people do not agree because they consider that the weight of the landing gear acts at a punctuated place and not linearly on the whole span
Is there an indisputable source as to whether or not it is possible to subtract the weight of a landing gear for the calculations ?
Thank you, kindly
Dominique sorry for the text ... google translate
