The design of lightweight, efficient structures is one of the fundamental requirements for achievement of high performance in military aircraft. In this paper some of the structural and materials considerations that are important to the strength, weight, and integrity of aircraft structures are reviewed. A comparison of some structural materials is made on the basis of weight-strength and tear resistance. In the area of structural design, the relative weights of several types of construction that are of current interest are reviewed and the influence of different materials and the effects of the related temperatures on structural weight are indicated. Lastly, other factors that are of importance in structural design of future aircraft are discussed. These include strength under nonuniform temperatures, creep, sonic fatigue, and panel flutter.
