Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Finish the Fight – with War Bonds
Wing strength for a Superfortress
That gleaming mass of metal,
rugged and thick as a railroad rail,
is a lower rear spar chord, one of
the vital structural members of a
Boeing Superfortress wing. When
the photograph was taken it was
being shaped on a huge milling
machine in Boeing's Wichita plant.
Today it's flying over Tokyo.
The design and construction of
the wing-utilizing the Boeing
“117” airfoil-is one of the factors
that make B-29 performance possible. Without it, long-range missions, at fighter-plane speed, with
immense bomb-loads, would still be
in the realm of wishful thinking.
Engineers of the Boeing Aerodynamics Unit developed the using
aid proved the remarkable qualities of its airfoil in wind tunnel
tests. Building the necessary tremendous strength into the wing
structure was the next step, and
heavy chords were designed for the
main spars. Weighing 255 pounds
when machined, this chord of aluminum alloy, pictured above, is
the largest extruded part ever used
in a production airplane.
In the systematic bombing of
Japan, the B-29's superior aerodynamic design and sturdy construction have helped the stout-hearted
men of the 20th Air Force to bring
many a crippled Superfortress back
to base, even though severely damaged over the target by flak or
fighter opposition.
To the task of building warplanes that will be worthy of the
skill and high courage of American
airmen, all Boeing's abilities are
dedicated today.
In a future time of peace, Boeing
products will continue to be soundly
and honestly designed, engineered
and manufactured. Tomorrow, as today, you can know of any airplane
. . . if it's “Built by Boeing" it's
built to lead.
