FUSELAGE CONSTRUCTION.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 18, 1921.
Application filed October 18, 1916. Serial No. 126,285.
a citizen of the United States, residing at .the borough of Manhattan, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fuselage Construction, of which the followin is a specification, reference being had t erein to the accompanying drawing.
My invention relates to improvements in the construction of the body portion of an 'aeroplane or the covering therefor, and more articularly consists in arranging successive ayers of material in such a manner as to insure tough rigidity and durability.
Referring to the accompanying drawing, I have illustrated part of the body portion or fuselage of an aeroplane in the construction of which I may first use a layer of fabric such as linen indicated by the reference character 2, then at an angle thereto strips of wood, preferably spruce, I
indicated by the reference character 3, laid parallel and at an angle as shown, thenb fabric such as strips of linen tape indicated by the reference character 4, also laid parallel and at an opposing angle, then preferably another layer of wood as lndicated by the reference-character 5 and another layer of,
e. 9., tape as indicated by the reference character 6, then preferably still another layer of wood indicated by the reference A character 7 and finally a layer of fabric such ter 8, which may be drawn over the whole as linen indicated by the reference characin the form of a stocking as desired. Each of the operations is of course preferably accommodated by an application of shellac, glue or other suitable binding material,
thus forming a uniform exceedingly tough and. durable and light structure.
Of course it-wlll be understood that various modifications and changes may be made in' the construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of the lnvention as claimed.
I claim 1. A fuselage comprising a plurality of of strips wound at opposing angles to the wood strips, and means for binding them together. h
2. A structure of the class described comprising alternate layers of wood and fabric, said layers applied in strips wound at opposlng angles and means for binding same together and the whole covered by a uniform layer of fabric. I
3. A fuselage comprising a plurality of layers of wood, each layer consisting of a plurality of spirally directed wooden strips, and fabric between the wood layers and means forbinding them together.
. 4. A fuselage body comprising layers of wood and fabric alternating with each other,
tioned layers, together with means for bind-.
ing together all of said layers.
In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses:
/ CHARLES F. WILLARD.
