THE contribution to higher performance can be accomplished by the structural designer in the development of greater efficiency in structure: (1) By the selection and distribution of material giving the maximum possible strength-weight ratios; (2) by the elimination of joints and their inherent inefficiencies and eccentricities; (3) by greater refinement of analysis; (4) by the maximum utilization of testing to obtain efficiency in components which are difficult to analyse; (5) by the design of multi-purpose instead of single-purpose elements; (6) by proper consideration of the importance of external structure design to aerodynamic efficiency; and (7) by considering the importance of rigidity in the basic structure to dynamic efficiency.
