Abstract
A single, common, fuselage and wing design of an aircraft structure provides for two different aircraft models or configurations. A fuselage () has a center section cutout area (). Each wing () has an airfoil over substantially its entire span. In one configuration (A), a center section component (), such as a wingbox, is inserted into the center section cutout and the wings are connected to opposing sides of the center section component by a side-of-body join. In another configuration (B), the wings are moved inwardly, joined to the fuselage, and also joined to each other in a centerline join at the centerline () of the aircraft wherein a portion (A) of the airfoil of each wing is then inside the fuselage. Different flaps (), spacers (), and/or different engine mount locations () may be provided for the wings for the two configurations.
