Abstract
An aircraft wing box is disclosed having a first cover, a second cover, a partition extending between the first and second cover and configured to provide a fuel tight boundary between the first and second covers, a first joint coupling the partition to the first cover, and a second joint coupling the partition to the second cover. The first joint is a slip joint configured to inhibit fuel leakage across the slip joint whilst permitting relative movement between the partition and the first cover.
