Zusammenfassung:An airframe for a tiltrotor aircraft (10) includes a wing airframe (24; 106) including a rib (20a, 20b; 124a, 124b), a fuselage airframe (26; 102) including a fore-aft overhead beam (28a, 28b; 126a, 126b) and a cradle support assembly (56a, 56b; 110a, 110b). The cradle support assembly (56a, 56b; 110a, 110b) includes a forward wing support (146a, 146b) coupled to the fore-aft overhead beam (28a, 28b; 126a, 126b) and the wing airframe (24, 106) and an aft wing support (148a, 148b) coupled to the fore-aft overhead beam (28a, 28b; 126a, 126b) and the wing airframe (24, 106). The rib (20a, 20b; 124a, 124b), the fore-aft overhead beam (28a, 28b; 126a, 126b), the forward wing support (146a, 146b) and the aft wing support (148a, 148b) are substantially aligned to form a wing-fuselage integrated airframe beam assembly (32a, 32b; 108a, 108b) to support the wing airframe (24, 106).
