Geodetic airframe - Wikipedia
A geodetic airframe is a type of construction for the airframes of aircraft developed by British aeronautical engineer Barnes Wallis in the 1930s (who sometimes spelt it "geodesic"). Earlier, it was used by Prof. Schütte for the Schütte Lanz Airship SL 1 in 1909. [ 1 ]
Geodetic Aircraft Design - Barnes Wallis Foundation
A geodetic (or geodesic) airframe makes use of a space frame formed from a spirally crossing basket-weave of load-bearing members. By having the geodesic curves form two helices at right angles to one another, the members became mutually supporting in a manner that the torsional load on each cancels out that on the other.
aircraft design - Why are geodesic airframes no longer produced ...
2015年2月2日 · Some modern aircraft are still built in a frame-and-fabric manner, such as the Aviat Husky, though most use a more generic "space frame" construction rather than geodetic framing. These are almost universally General Aviation aircraft designed principally for VFR flight.
Sir Barnes Wallis - Geodetics
In addition to being comparatively light and strong, the fact that the geodetic structure was all in the outer part of the airframe meant that the centre was a large empty space, ready to take payload or fuel.

Geodesic Airplane Construction: the method of putting together a model plane i talked about in the other instructable is all very well,but it means that you cannot make a true scale replica of the inside of the plane and it makes it heavier and harder to shape.i have experimented …

BRIEFING FILE: Geodetics - The construction technique best-known for its use on the Wellington. Most famously used in the Vickers Wellington bomber, geodetic airframe construction was a remarkable method.
Vickers Wellington - Wikipedia
A novelty of the Wellington was its geodetic construction, devised by aircraft designer and inventor Barnes Wallis. The fuselage was built from 1,650 elements, consisting of duralumin W-beams which formed into a metal framework.

The robust nature of its revolutionary construction paid dividends in terms of both aircraft and lives saved on night bombing operations and the type was popular with aircrew.
