wing structure [′wiŋ ‚strək·chər] (aerospace engineering) In an aircraft, the combination of outside fairing panels that provide the aerodynamic lifting surfaces and the inside supporting members that transmit the lifting force to the fuselage; the primary load-carrying portion of a wing is a box beam (the prime box) made up usually of two or more vertical webs, plus a major portion of the upper and lower skins of the wing, which serve as chords of the beam.

With an innovative design that uses a main battery as the wing structure, the small vehicle is able to provide real-time images and data to warfighters. Assembly of the wing structure is complete, and the lower composite skins were recently attached for drilling. This is equipped with two CFM International CFM56-7B turbofans, a mission system derived from that developed for the Nimrod MRA4, underwing hardpoints and a weapons bay that is now behind the wing structure. |
