Aircraft fuselage wing attachment cutout configurations incorporating perimeter box beams

A cargo aircraft, comprising:

• a fuselage defining a forward end, an aft end, and a continuous interior cargo bay that spans a majority of a length of the fuselage from the forward end to the aft end, the fuselage including:
• a forward portion containing a forward region of the continuous interior cargo bay, the forward portion defining a forward centerline along a longitudinal-lateral plane of the cargo aircraft;
• an aft portion containing an aft region of the continuous interior cargo bay, the aft portion defining an aft centerline extending above the longitudinal-lateral plane of the cargo aircraft;
• a kinked portion forming a junction in the fuselage between the forward portion and the aft portion of the fuselage and between the forward and aft regions of the continuous interior cargo bay, the kinked portion containing a transition region of the continuous interior cargo bay and defining a bend angle between the forward centerline and the aft centerline;
• and
• a wing cutout defined by a plurality of structural elements configured to transfer a wing load to the fuselage, the structural elements including opposite starboard and port longeron beams each spanning a longitudinal length of the cutout, the starboard and port longeron beams having an enclosed box beam construction;
• a first fixed wing extending from the fuselage in a first direction away from the fuselage;
• a second fixed wing extending from the fuselage in a second direction away from the fuselage, the second direction approximately symmetric about a longitudinal-vertical center plane of the cargo aircraft;
• and
• a wing box connecting the first fixed wing to the second fixed wing and extending along the wing cutout,
• wherein the wing box is secured to the plurality of structural elements of the wing cutout.
