Who ever was implicitly accusing me of being an armchair engineer, I'd like an apology.



This patent was appoved in 1979 (29 years ago) with the help of the Air Force. I take it the guy who invented it was in the Air Force. He's addressing the same torsional stability and bending moment problems.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks to me like he's proposing a method to provide the required torsional stability in a wing that is lighter than traditional methods used to provide this stability. It says nothing of "fixing a problem with torsional stability".
