Abstract
A stressed-skin component is made of metal including a skinplate and integrated stiffening profiles, which skin component apart from the required rigidity also provides adequate crack advance behaviour and retained strength behaviour. The stiffening profiles in the base area comprise a thicker region of a profile base thickness; the thicker region having a reduced connection thickness at the connection with the skinplate. The profile base thickness is at least twice the connection thickness.
