Abstract
A wing-fuselage section of an aircraft, which wing-fuselage section comprises a wing root at which the wing of the aircraft is connected to the fuselage, a fuselage region with fuselage frame elements that extent across the longitudinal direction of the aircraft, and a wing region with spars that extend in the direction of the wingspan. According to the invention, the spars of the wing region and the fuselage frame elements of the fuselage region form part of an integral assembly that extends at least over a middle part of the wing and the fuselage region, including the wing roots.
Claims22
A wing-fuselage section of an aircraft, said wing-fuselage section comprising:
- a wing root at which a wing of the aircraft is connected to a fuselage;
- a fuselage region comprising a plurality of fuselage frame elements extending across a longitudinal direction of the aircraft;
- and
- a wing region comprising a plurality of spars that extend in a direction of the wingspan,
- wherein the spars of the wing region at the wing root continue as a single piece transition in an integral manner in the fuselage frame elements of the fuselage region forming part of an integral assembly that extends at least over a middle part of the wing and the fuselage region, including the wing root, and wherein the spars that extend in the direction of the wingspan of the wing region generally follow a sweep of the wing extending at a non-perpendicular angle to the longitudinal direction of the aircraft, and
- wherein at least one of the fuselage frame elements intersect with at least one other fuselage frame element in the fuselage region.
