Abstract
The present invention provides a structural component for an aircraft or a space craft having an outer skin and a first reinforcing element which runs on the outer skin along a first spatial direction. A second reinforcing element runs over the first reinforcing element in a second spatial direction. A foot element supports the second reinforcing element on the outer skin, the foot element having a feed-through opening in which the first reinforcing element is held in a positive manner. From another point of view, a method is provided for reinforcing an outer skin of an aircraft or space craft, in which a first reinforcing element is attached to the outer skin along a first spatial direction. A foot element having a feed-through opening is attached over the first reinforcing element such that the first reinforcing element is held positively in the feed-through opening. A second reinforcing element is attached to the foot element in a second spatial direction over the first reinforcing element.
