PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a panel structure that satisfies safety and testing standards yet also enables a lower mass construction.SOLUTION: A panel structure for a vehicle, especially for an aircraft or spacecraft, includes an area member 2, specifically a skin member, that defines an areal expanse with a first surface 3 and an opposite second surface 4 and having a thickness 5 between the first surface 3 and the second surface 4; and a plurality of elongate stiffener members 6 which are attached to the area member 2 and extend over at least one of the first and second surfaces 3, 4; where at least one of the stiffener members 6 is bifurcated at a bifurcation point into two or more branch stiffener members 6'.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 15 |
