Zusammenfassung:LAMINATE COMPOSITE WING STRUCTURES A wing (104) may include a wing skin (120), a laminate composite first stringer (136), a rib (140), and at least one fastener (400). A majority of the first stringer (136) may be characterised by a stacked plurality of generally planar plies of reinforcement material structurally joined as a stack to an interior surface (160) of the wing skin (120) and extending generally parallel to the interior surface (160) and a span-wise direction of the wing (104) along a substantial portion of the interior surface. The first stringer (136) may have a generally solid trapezoidal cross section when viewed in a plane that is generally perpendicular to the span-wise direction. The rib (140) may be positioned adjacent the interior surface, and may extend generally perpendicular to the span-wise direction. The trapezoidal cross section may be interfaced with the rib flange (402). The fastener (400) may extend through the wing skin (120), the trapezoidal cross section, and the rib flange (402). D~ c
