Rib-fitting as a component (9) of a torsion box (1, 3) of an aircraft lift surface made of composite material as a single piece, comprising: a substantially planar web (31) with a first part in the form of a lug (33) and a second part in the form of a rib web (35); two flanges (39) to attach the web (31) with the webs of each of the ends of the front or back spar (11, 13) to which it is joined; flanges (43) for being attached to the upper and lower skins (19, 21) of the torsion box; gaps (45) in the areas of intersection with the front or back spar caps (11, 13) to which the component (9) is connected and with the reinforcement stringers (25) of the skins (19, 21). The invention also comprises and assembly process for the rib-fitting in multispar torsion boxes.
A component (9) of an aircraft lift surface torsion box (1, 3) for receiving and distributing a local load, the torsion box (1, 3) comprising at least two front and back spars (11, 13) and two upper and lower skins (19, 21) with reinforcement stringers (25), characterized in that it is made of a composite material as a single piece and in that its configuration comprises:
