Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to a boom constructed from several shaped panels of material formed or shaped to overlap when assembled to form a strong, yet lightweight, structure. The boom can have two or more joined panels to form a boom with a generally triangular shaped exterior profile. The panels can have two or more lips. One lip from each panel, together with the panel faces, form a six-sided interior profile when the panels are assembled. The interiorly located lips are gussets. The gussets can form three conduits, one at each of the triangle corners. The boom can be tapered along its longitudinal axis. The panels can have ribs formed therein to provide stiffness. A folding assembly (when a secondary section is used) and sprayers can be provided. A structural top tension tube can be provided. Longitudinal ribs that act as flow paths also can be provided.
