Abstract: A one-piece fitting (56) for a stiffened panel (51) comprising a panel body (52) with a plurality of stiffeners (53, 54, 55) arranged thereon, the fitting comprising a fitting body (56) configured to be fastened, in use, to two or more of the stiffeners (53, 54, 55) so as to provide a junction to transfer load between the two or more stiffeners, wherein the fitting body further comprises an integral functional fitting (57) arranged for engagement with a component other than the stiffened panel.

Abstract: An aircraft nacelle air inlet comprising: a lip skin defining a curved surface of the inlet, the curved surface extending about a longitudinal axis of the inlet; a forward bulkhead; an inner barrel having a radially inner surface defining a surface of the inlet, a radially outer surface, and a sound attenuating layer arranged between the radially inner and radially outer surfaces; and a joining frame fixed to the lip skin and/or to the forward bulkhead. A first portion of the joining frame extends over at least a portion of the sound attenuating layer of the inner barrel and is fixed to the radially outer surface of the inner barrel.

Abstract: An acoustic panel for an aircraft comprising: a sound attenuating sheet having a plurality of cavities, a sound attenuating sheet having a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface and an end surface connecting the first and second surfaces, a first sheet extending over at least a portion of the first surface and over the end surface, and a second sheet extending over the second surface and the end surface, wherein the first and the second sheets are connected such that a tensile force can be transferred therebetween.
