Spars are the principal structural members of the wing. They correspond to the longerons of the fuselage. They run parallel to the lateral axis, or toward the tip of the wing, and are usually attached to the fuselage by wing fittings, plain beams, or a truss system. 6, record 1, English, - wing%20spar

During flight, applied loads which are imposed on the wing structure are primarily on the skin. From the skin they are transmitted to the ribs and from the ribs to the spars. The spars support all distributed loads as well as concentrated weights, such as fuselage, landing gear, and, on multi-engine aircraft, the nacelles or pylons. 6, record 1, English, - wing%20spar

Les longerons d'une aile sont le plus souvent au nombre de deux; lorsqu'ils sont réunis par des panneaux matérialisant l'extrados et l'intrados du profil, ils constituent un longeron-caisson, très résistant en torsion et qui permet de loger directement le carburant dans des réservoirs dits structuraux. Hormis ce cas, les longerons d'une aile sont réunis par les nervures, qui déterminent son profil; ceux du fuselage sont réunis par les couples [...] 3, record 1, French, - longeron%20d%27aile

Les longerons [...] constituent les éléments longitudinaux de la voilure (sens de l'envergure) et ils supportent les efforts de flexion verticale. [Les] semelles travaillent surtout en traction et compression; [...] les âmes travaillent surtout au cisaillement. [...] Les longerons ont une section décroissante de l'emplanture à l'extrémité de l'aile en raison de la variation des efforts supportés. 4, record 1, French, - longeron%20d%27aile
