    摘要: A rib is disclosed for use in a torque box of a wing structure provided on an aircraft. The wing structure has a skin panel and a stringer coupled to the skin panel. The rib includes a web defining at least one stringer hole sized to receive the stringer, a shear tie coupled to the web and configured to engage the skin panel, and a clip positioned adjacent the at least one stringer hole. The clip has a base coupled to and aligned with the web, a head extending at an angle relative to the base and configured to engage the stringer, and a transition portion extending between the base and the head.

    摘要: There is provided a conductive radius filler system and method. The system has a composite assembly with one or more composite structures having one or more radius filler regions. The system further has one or more conductive radius fillers filling the one or more radius filler regions. Each of the conductive radius fillers has a conductive element of electrically conductive material. The system further has one or more over-arching systems connected to the one or more conductive radius fillers, via one or more conductive radius filler connections, forming one or more current handling systems of the system. The one or more current handling systems include one or more of an edge glow handling system configured to handle edge glow, a static dissipation handling system configured to handle static dissipation, and a current return handling system configured to handle current return.

    摘要: A brace (200) for geometrically interlocking stringer pairs A of first stringers (106), coupled to a first panel (102), and stringer pairs B of second stringers (108), coupled to a second panel (104), of a structure (100). The brace (200) comprises a chassis (202) comprising first interlocks (204) and second interlocks (206) opposite the first interlocks (204). The first interlocks (204) geometrically engage with one of the stringer pairs A of the first stringers (106) and the second interlocks (206) geometrically engage with one of the stringer pairs B of the second stringers (108) to constrain the brace (200) in all directions along a plane (112) perpendicular to the first stringers (106) and the second stringers (108).

    摘要: The present disclosure generally refers to an aircraft horizontal tail plane (HTP) having a multi-rib torsion box formed by first and second lateral torsion boxes symmetrically arranged with respect to a plane of symmetry of the horizontal tail plane. A group of ribs are substantially parallel to the plane of symmetry of the horizontal tail plane, and the stringers are arranged as to define an angle within the range 80°-100° with respect to the plane of symmetry of the horizontal tail plane. Due to this relative arrangement of the ribs and stringers, the stringers are not continuous through ribs, thus the ribs can be manufactured without mouse holes. The HTP of the invention can be manufactured easier and faster than traditional HTP designs.

    摘要: Stiffening structures, wing structures and methods for manufacturing stiffening structures are provided. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, a stiffening structure includes a first longitudinal member, a second longitudinal member, and a first rib that extends from the first longitudinal member to the second longitudinal member and is integral with the first longitudinal member and the second longitudinal member. The first longitudinal member has a first wall, a second wall and a joining wall that joins the first wall and second wall. The first wall, the second wall and the joining wall form a space having a trapezoidal shape.
