Abstract
An attachment arrangement for attaching a component to the fuselage of an aircraft. The attachment arrangement comprises an elongated stringer that can be connected to the aircraft fuselage, and a fitting that can be connected to the component. The stringer comprises a multitude of recesses that are formed one behind the other in the direction of longitudinal extension of the stringer. The fitting comprises at least one engagement element that is adapted for positive-locking engagement in the recesses of the stringer. The stringer and/or the fitting can comprise CFC. The fittings can also comprise various other plastics or metal. Weight savings are achieved while at the same time providing stable and variably-positionable attachment. Furthermore, a method for constructing a stringer for an attachment arrangement is proposed, in which method, by providing reinforcement fibers adjacent to the recesses, a carbon scrim is locally reinforced around the recesses.
