ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a joint for aircraft wing skins which have previously been connected to support substructures by rivets or other mechanical fasteners which create stress points and leakage points when aircraft wings are filled with fuel. The invention utilizes interleaved plies of a composite fabric to mechanically interlock the wing skin and support substructure. Use of the invention increases the structural integrity of the connection joint between wing skin and support substructure.
