Between 1903 and 1940, a significant change that took place on the skin of aircraft wings and fuselages is that the wing and fuselage skin went from non-loaded to load-carrying. Early aircraft designs primarily used the wing and fuselage skins as non-load-bearing components, but advancements in structural design and materials allowed for these skins to become integral to the overall structural integrity of the aircraft, contributing to the load-carrying capacity and aerodynamics. This shift was essential in the development of modern aircraft design.
