Figure 9.10 Loads for one flight of a fixed-wing aircraft (a), and a simplified version of this
loading (b). Working loads occur due to takeoffs, maneuvers, and landings, and there are
vibratory loads due to runway roughness and air turbulence, as well as wind gust loads
in storms. (From [Waisman 59]; used with permission.)
