Abstract
The invention relates to a skin panel (11) of an aircraft (1), comprising a laminate of at least one first metal sheet (40) and preferably first fiber-reinforced polymer layers (41) connected thereto. The skin panel (11) is connected to stiffening elements (4) made of a laminate of second metal sheets (40) and second fiber-reinforced polymer layers (41) connected thereto, provided that the second fiber-reinforced polymer layer comprises fibers having a modulus of elasticity in tension of greater than 110 GPa. The invention also relates to an aircraft or spacecraft provided with such skin sheets.
