ABSTRACT:
In the past wing skin structures have been connected to support substructures by means of rivets or other mechanical fasteners which create stress points and leakage points when aircraft wings are filled with fuel. The present invention utilizes a support substructure having tabs which interleave between plies of a wing skin to mechanically interlock the wing skin and support substructure. The wing structure and support substructure may be fabricated from aircraft composite materials.
