Abstract

Disclosed herein is a body of a mobile vehicle. The body includes skin, a stringer, and a frame. The skin comprises a first tab and a second tab, opposite the first tab. The first tab is fixed directly onto the skin and the second tab is fixed directly onto the skin. The frame comprises a cut-out, a first foot, and a second foot. The second foot is spaced apart from the first foot by the cut-out. The first foot is fixed directly onto the first tab of the stringer, such that the first tab of the stringer is immediately interposed between the first foot of the frame and the skin. The second foot is fixed directly onto the skin, such that no portion of the frame is fixed directly onto the second tab of the stringer.
