Extract

The invitation for this lecture requested “a review of missile structures from the viewpoint of an aircraft designer.” This is inevitable because most of the author’s experience has been associated with aircraft design. There are however many people actively concerned with missiles who have had considerable experience designing aircraft and would be better qualified to make a more realistic approach to the subject. The difficulty for an outsider making a review of missiles is justifying the “need to know” and then, having found out, or deduced interesting facts, he may be made aware that to publish them would contravene some security ruling.
