Aircraft, airframes and associated methods

Aircraft (10) and airframes (12) include a skin (22) operatively coupled to a structural reinforcement member (24). The structural reinforcement member (24) and the skin (22) collectively define a run-out region (48) that encompasses a terminal edge (38) of the structural reinforcement member (24)....

Zusammenfassung:	Aircraft (10) and airframes (12) include a skin (22) operatively coupled to a structural reinforcement member (24). The structural reinforcement member (24) and the skin (22) collectively define a run-out region (48) that encompasses a terminal edge (38) of the structural reinforcement member (24). Within the run-out region (48), the skin (22) is more flexible than in adjacent portions of the skin (22). Methods include defining (102) a region of increased flexibility of a skin (22) relative to adjacent portions of the skin (22), and operatively coupling the skin (22) to a structural reinforcement member (24).
