Book on wing or aircraft structures
(OP)
Hello,
I want to acquire some book on wing structures but I'd like some insight first, to be sure that I'm buying a good one.
I'm looking for a book which gives some real info on designing wing structures. Some intro on elasticity, diagonal tension and so on is ok, but I'd like it to have more applied information, like real examples, choosing the dispositions of ribs, spars, etc., flap and other systems integration... I know this is not universal and it's a design process which will vary from airplane to airplane, but something as close to this as possible will work. Also, it doesn't need to be specifically wing structures, but it's in what I'm interested now.
Even if you don't know a reference which fulfills all this, it would be good to know which book you would say is a good reference for designing wing or airplane structures.
Thanks in advance!

You likely can find these all on Vimeo to preview. A few are more related to stress analysis fundamentals but all include some practical layout and sizing information you are looking for. If you can find some experienced people willing to share, OEM information can be found.

To anyone willing to contribute, don't hesitate to recommend some book you have on your desk which you find helpful for your work!
RE: Book on wing or aircraft structures
Most of the books I listed are primarily concerned with sheet metal construction...
RE: Book on wing or aircraft structures
1) how do I analyse a given structure? Bruhn excels at this if you are designing Bruhn like structures
2) what sort of loads do I need to worry about (including fatigue)
3) what sort of structure is 'best' for a given load set?
(3) sounds the most interesting book, but doesn't really exist in a general form.
