     Home | Aviation | Interplane strut



An interplane strut is an aircraft airframe component designed to transmit lift and landing loads between wing (mainplane) panels on biplanes and other aircraft with multi-wing designs. They also maintain the correct angle of incidence for the connected wing panels and are often braced with wires. Very early aircraft used interplane struts made from bamboo, while later designs employed streamlined struts made either from spruce or ash; woods chosen for their strength and light weight. More modern or higher performance aerobatic biplanes often feature metal interplane struts.
