Zusammenfassung:	A closeout fitting (100) for a hat stringer (50) includes a cover (130) that has a fitting surface (134). The fitting surface is substantially complementary to at least a portion of an outer surface of the hat stringer. The cover is configured to couple against the hat stringer outer surface. The cover also includes a first portion (132) configured to extend across a gap defined in a cap portion of the hat stringer. The closeout fitting also includes an insert (102). The insert includes a first outer perimeter surface (103) that is substantially complementary to at least a portion of an interior surface of a channel defined by the hat stringer. The insert is configured to couple against the channel interior surface proximate the hat stringer closeout portion. The insert and the cover are formed with a suitable stiffness to limit a deformation of the hat stringer proximate the closeout portion.
