Abstract
An aircraft includes a fuselage, a wing extending out from the fuselage, and a joint coupling the wing to the fuselage. The joint includes a first fitting fixed to the fuselage, a second fitting fixed to the wing, a link assembly pivotably coupled to the first fitting and to the second fitting, and a strap coupled to the link assembly at the first fitting and at the second fitting based on the free play clearance as defined by the manufacturing of the link assembly. The link assembly is configured to support the wing during operation of the aircraft and has a free play clearance defined by a manufacturing of the joint falling within a designed dimensional tolerance of the joint. The strap is further configured to bias the link assembly to restrict movement of the link assembly within the free play clearance during load reversal in the joint.
