Abstract

A device for creating a stiffened region on an outer structure of an aircraft for subsequently providing a service access if required is disclosed having an outer structure, a reinforcing plate which is mounted in a predetermined installation region on an inner side of the outer structure and forms a contact surface between the reinforcing plate and the outer structure. The reinforcing plate has a through-opening along the surface normal of the contact surface, and a connecting material which connects the reinforcing plate to the outer structure in an edge region of the contact surface by substance-to-substance bonding and/or by interlocking engagement.
