Abstract
An innovative wing structure provides fibs to support skin panels without an attachment between the rib and the stringer free flange or the web. The support is provided by rib shear ties installed directly to the stringer skin flange. The rib incorporates a cut away to allow the stringer to pass through the rib. The composite stringer is an 'I' section and is stable under compression, not requiring mechanical methods to prevent rolling over.
