INTRODUCTION
An aircraft is constructed of many parts, or structural members, that
are either riveted, bolted, screwed, bonded, or welded together.
These structural members form units or assemblies, and they are then
designated principal airframe parts.
Individual structural members
may vary in size, shape, or composition; however, the principal
airframe parts they form are readily identified on any conventional
aircraft as illustrated in Figures 1-1 and 1-2.
