Importance of achieving low structural weight illustrated by simple estimates of large decreases in aircraft gross weight and size made possible by conscientious weight saving in structural design; review of many variables in aircraft design which affect weight of structure to emphasize close interplay in project work between structural and aerodynamic effects of changes of layout.
