Application
Box trusses are commonly used in certain types of aircraftfuselages, electric power pylons, large radioantennas, and many bridge structures. An aircraft is any machine capable of atmospheric flight. ... In an aircraft, the fuselage is the main body section that holds crew and passengers or cargo. ... In biology, antenna (plural: antennae) refers to the sensing organs of several arthropods. ... A log bridge A bridge is a structure built to span a gorge, valley, road, railroad track, river, body of water, or any other physical obstacle. ...
Advantages
By using what are in effect stiff panels in a cylindrical arrangement the resulting structure can have a high resistance to axial torsion (twisting along its long axis) and a higher resistance to buckling in its highly loaded sides.
When finished as an open structure the truss will be less subject to wind drag and to aeroelastic effects than would a complely enclosed structure.

A trussbridge is a bridge composed of connected elements (typically straight) which may be stressed from tension, compression, or sometimes both in response to dynamic loads.
When the roadbed is atop the truss it is called a deck truss, when at the bottom of a boxtruss a through truss, and where the sides extend above the roadbed but are not connected, a pony truss.
Trussbridges became a common type of bridge to see built from the 1870s through the 1930s.
