Strength of Metal Aircraft Elements ANC-5a

The purpose of this document was to recognize that since many aircraft manufacturers supply airplanes for both commercial and military use, standardization of the requirements of the various Government procuring or certifying agencies would be of direct benefit to the manufacturers. This publication has been prepared to eliminate the necessity for referring to different handbooks and bulletins in calculating the allowable stresses or minimum strength of typical structures. This type of technical information is increasingly scarce.
