Abstract

The stiffening frames (14) of an aircraft fuselage (2) remain continuous while passing through an upper panel (5) of the wing box and extend over the ribs (3) situated in that box. The overall mechanical strength of the assembly is improved, despite the notches it is necessary to make in the panel (5).
