Bracing wire
A solid steel wire used to support the structure of an airplane's wings or fuselage. Turnbuckles are often used to tension the wires.
Boots - Inflatable device on leading edge of wings and tail. Used to remove ice.
Bracing wire - A solid steel wire used to support the structure of an airplane's wings or fuselage.
BRG - Bearing.
BSU - Beam steering unit.
The bracing wires connecting tops of center section struts should be tight enough to hold the shape of the center section when bracing wires are tightened up. (a) Machines Having No Stagger.
The only points about this that demand attention are the bracing wires and the bolts and nuts by which these are fastened to the horizontal stabilizer.
In the early days of aviation all wing structures were strengthened by external bracing wires and struts.
LANDING WIRES - External bracing wires, usually of streamline section, which support the wings when the aircraft is on the ground.
LANDPLANE - A heavier-than-air craft which is equipped to operate from land surfaces only.
LIFT WIRES - Interplane bracing wires that help support wing loads when the plane is in flight. Direction of travel is upward from the bottom of the fuselage to the top of the interplane struts.
Those bracing wires in a biplane which transfer the lift of the wings to the main structure. Also known as "lift wires." They extend diagonally outwards and upwards.
A wing whose structure does not require external struts or bracing wires; rigidly attached at one end only
