Visualizing multiple dimensions for big-picture analysis of wing stresses and performance

Bending, buckling, twisting, and plunging are just a few of the ways vehicles perform when in flight. Rather than analyzing these and more variables individually, aerospace engineers used a system-of-systems approach to mathematically model the stresses for a big-picture understanding of what's happening to a portion of a vehicle (a spar) in flight—then used a unique protocol to visualize all of the variables together.
