Lifting structure for aircraft

摘要

It is essentially applicable to a horizontal stabilizer that includes two side symmetrical boxes that converge at one end (its root) thereof in a shared center area in order to connect integrally in said central area. It is characterized in that both boxes connect by means of a single part that constitutes a center rib with a double T-shaped profile. The root of the side boxes overlap converging on the inside surfaces of the wings of the center rib. The connection is ensured with rivets (lap joint). The proposed connecting means simplifies the assembly process (single part) and lead to a weight reduction since that a carbon fiber connecting rib can be used.
