  "term": "Rigid",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "Describing an aircraft component or structure designed to maintain its shape and resist deformation under applied loads. This characteristic is achieved through the use of stiff materials and structural reinforcement, preventing flexing or bending that could compromise aerodynamic performance or structural integrity. For example, a rigid wing structure minimizes flutter and maintains its airfoil shape during flight, contributing to stable flight characteristics.",
