American Experience with Magnesium Alloys: Some Details of Recent Work on Aircraft Primary Structures in Magnesium

Abstract

AN all‐magnesium aircraft has been built in the United States by East Coast Aeronautics Inc. under contract to the Air Force Air Development Center. It is the latest in a series of projects connected with the use of magnesium for aircraft primary structures. J. P. Donald Garges, vice‐president of the company, gave a detailed account of these projects in a paper presented to the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences at its annual meeting in January 1955, and published in Aeronautical Engineering Review in August 1955.
