Enumerates limitations of wood and advantages of metal as structural materials for aircraft and concludes that weight can be saved and greater reliability secured with metal construction; savings effected by use of metal in place of wood in Navy flying boat are tabulated; use of metal, chiefly aluminum alloys, for fittings and structural parts, fabrication of ribs, fuselages, hulls and floats; expedient for production of pressed-metal parts in small quantities; emphasis is laid on necessity for preventing corrosion by avoiding contact between dissimilar metals and by thorough application of protective coatings.
