RIB-FITTING

摘要

The invention relates to a rib fitting forming a component (9) of a torsion box (1, 3) of an aircraft airfoil, said component being made from a composite material in the form of a single piece and having a configuration comprising: a substantially planar web (31) including a first portion in the form of a lobe (33) and a second portion in the form of rib-web (35); two wings (39) for connecting the web (31) and the webs of each of the ends of the spar (11, 13) of the box to which the component is connected; wings (43) for connecting to the upper and lower skins (19, 21) of the box; and spans (45) in the areas that intersect with caps of the spar (11, 13) to which the component (9) is connected and with the reinforcing stringers (25) of the skins (19, 21). The invention also relates to methods for mounting the rib on multi-spar torsion boxes.
