King post
text:
A king post is a central vertical post used in architectural or bridge designs, working in tension to support a beam below from a truss apex above. In aircraft design a strut called a king post acts in compression, similarly to an architectural crown post. Usage in mechanical plant and marine engineering differs again, as noted below.
