Analysis of factors controlling structural efficiency with particular regard to cantilever design of Fokker plane; aspect ratio, design load, wing area and maximum wing chord; selection of basic structure and best suited material; increasing structural efficiency to save 4 1/2 per cent of weight of empty airplane will give 13 1/2 per cent increase in payload without increasing gross weight.
