Abstract

An aircraft structural component having a skin element, including an inner surface, a multitude of transverse stiffening elements, which lie against the inner surface of the skin element, and a multitude of longitudinal stiffening elements, perpendicular to the transverse stiffening elements against the inner surface of the skin element, wherein between a first and a second transverse stiffening element and also between a first and a second longitudinal stiffening element, a first skin section is defined. An aircraft structural component is provided with the quantity of the longitudinal stiffening elements reduced. A first applied reinforcement includes a core layer having a contour line running along the circumference of the skin element, the first applied reinforcement including a face sheet surrounding the core layer on the side thereof which faces away from the skin element, which face sheet is connected to the skin element along the core layer contour line.
