  • Publication number: 20230192266
    Abstract: A flexible corner fitting configured to contribute to a connection between at least three walls of at least one aircraft box structure, and to make them leaktight with respect to liquids. The corner fitting has at least three fixing plates and at least three edge corners made of flexible material. Each of the at least three fixing plates is connected to each of the other at least three fixing plates by one of the edge corners made of flexible material. The edge corners made of flexible material ensure adjustment of the corner fitting without machining or the addition of shims.

  • Patent number: 11046414
    Abstract: In order to be able to reduce the time and cost required for final assembly of an aircraft, a junction rib designed for the wing-central wingbox junction comprises a central web and an upper flange and a lower flange which extend from the main web, on a first side, the main web having a junction surface arranged on a second side opposite the first side, the main web including rows of orifices opening on the second side in the junction surface and on the first side, comprising a first row of orifices and a third row of orifices formed in an upper part of the main web on either side of the upper flange, and a second row of orifices formed in a lower portion of the main web, each one of the rows of orifices comprising orifices in a free state.

  • Patent number: 10399663
    Abstract: A central wing box for an aircraft, including a top panel, a bottom panel, a front spar, a rear spar, and at least one secondary rib. A secondary rib includes two stiffeners, a first stiffener extending adjacent to the top panel and to one of the front spar and the rear spar, and a second stiffener extending adjacent to the bottom panel and to the other of the front spar and the rear spar. A reduced number of components can be employed, thereby simplifying the construction of the central wing box of an aircraft, particularly the installation of the secondary ribs.
