Yes, Robert, I do agree. I did use the word continuous beam and I meant toexpound on that term. I will save it for another day when I have more timeor when someone shows interest. I see their eyes are glazing over.With ships such as the Piet with strut braced wings and a cabane structure,horizontal shear is approaching its minimum in the section of span from theleft wing strut attach point to the right wing strut attach point. Itsminimum would be inthe area between the two cabanes. However, as you said,for the cantilevered span portion outboard of the wing strut attach point,horizontal shear will be at its maximum and my points are valid.Chris Bobka----- Original Message -----
