Interesting
I have read through the other thread and can say that Ralph Hooper (father of P1127/Kestrel/Harrier family) agrees with all the anti-geodetic views expressed there. He cannot understand why the designers that used geodetics did not go the conventional stressed skin way - which was by then well established in for example flying boats.
He views geodetics as a rather pointless half way house between the well past it's sell by date Hurricane type of structure and the Spitfire for example.
