We want to determine what a reasonable flexural rigidity would be for a Cessna wing spar. We will
model the wing as shown below: assume the wing is pinned at the root and again m from the fuselage.
The lift distribution is constant between the supports and then tapers linearly from that value to of the
value at the wing tip. Along with the pin at the fuselage, there is a moment of note that the moment
still has units of force x length, even though does not The has a maximum load factor of so we
will use the load case where each wing produces lift equal to of the plane's weight. We will consider
the maximum takeoff weight MTOW which is approximately Assume the wing spar is uniform;
ie it has the same along its length. Develop an expression for the deflection in terms of What
would a reasonable flexural rigidity be
