A method for manufacturing at least a portion of a box structure obtained from an outer skin and a plurality of sections each having a joining face in contact with the outer skin. The method comprises a step of positioning the sections on a mold, a step of obtaining a flat fiber preform having a thickness substantially equal to the outer skin, a step of placing a central portion of the fiber preform on the sections positioned on a first face of the mold and a step of forming a lateral extension of the fiber preform to press the fiber preform against a forming surface. A central wingbox obtained by the method is provided and a forming tool for carrying out the method.
