A component is provided that includes a monolithic structure and a fitting element. The monolithic structure includes first and second outer panels, and spars disposed between the first and second outer panels. The width of the monolithic structure extends between a fitting end and a distal end. The spars extend widthwise between the first and second outer panels. The spar fitting end of each spar has a Y-shaped configuration with first and second finger walls, and a channel disposed there between. Both the first and second finger walls have a divergent end and a distal end. The channel has a closed end and an open end defined at the finger wall distal ends. The fitting element has a body with one or more blades extending outwardly therefrom. Each blade is received in and mates with a spar fitting end channel and is bonded to the spar fitting end.
