AIRCRAFT STRUCTURE COMPRISING STIFFNESS ELEMENTS EDGES Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC B64C1/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aircraft engineering. Aircraft structure comprises first and second higher-rigidity panels including facing and stiffness elements arranged along lengthwise axis of panels and terminating at their ends. Stiffness element has bases arranged on one side of facing of said panels called an inner side. Said first and second panels are jointed so that their ends are located nearby to form butt line. First panel stiffness element is located opposite second panel stiffness element on one straight line in direction parallel with lengthwise axes of panels. First and second panels are partially overlapped by strip with one side jointed to first panel and second side jointed to second panel. Said strip partially overlaps bases of first panel stiffness element bases and those of second panel stiffness element. Proposed structure comprises cushion running along lengthwise axes of panels at distance equal to that overlapped by strip along common axes on both sides of panels butt line. Cushion is coupled with stiffness element bases to form continuous and regular thrust surface for strip.

EFFECT: simplified design and aircraft fuselage.
