A COMPILATION of formulae and data from the article on the same subject in the July 1971 issue of AIRCRAFT ENGINEERING is presented to enable weight engineers to make a quick estimation of wing structural weight for preliminary aircraft design. Application of the method to 46 samples of aircraft in a wide range of sizes demonstrates a standard deviation of 9·64 per cent, satisfactory for point designs and parametric studies.
