　　There are two main things that make aircraft engineering difficult; the need to make every component　as reliable as possible and the need to build everything as light as possible. The fact that an aeroplane is up in　the air and cannot stop if anything goes wrong, makes it perhaps a matter of life or death that its performance　is absolutely dependable.　
　　Given a certain power of engine, and consequently a certain fuel consumption, there is a practical limit　to the total weight of aircraft that can be made to fly. Out of that weight as much as possible is wanted for　fuel, radio navigational instruments, passenger seats, or freight room, and, of course, the passengers or　freight themselves. So the structure of the aircraft has to be as small and light as safety and efficiency will　allow. The designer must calculate the normal load that each part will bear. This specialist is called the‘stress man’. He takes account of any unusual stress that may be put on the part as a precaution against errors　in manufacture, acciedental damage, etc.
　　The stress man’s calculations go to the designer of the part, and he must make it as strong as the stress　man says if necessary. One or two samples are always tested to prove that they are as strong as the designer　intended. Each separate part is tested, then a whole assembly, for example, a complete wing, and finally the　whole aeroplane. When a new type of aeroplane is being made, normally only one of the first three made
