1934. Myths of Weight Control

Paper

Abstract

This technical paper differs from most in that it draws from the personal observations of the author instead of developing conclusions from a body of technical data. Its purpose is to stimulate thought and discussion. What the author has done is to critique techniques of weight control that he has observed in his own company, and in the companies of competitors, team members, and sub-contractors. Most of these techniques have been expressed in public forums, in particular, the Weight Control Session of the Society of Allied Weight Engineers. The subject is generic, has no relationship to a specific airplane model, and in no way represents a policy of his company.
