WING RIB
1. General
A. Flanged upper and lower edges of all ribs serve as cap strips in addition to providing rigidity to the rib. The skin riveted or
bonded directly to each rib flange provides the cellular strength for each successive rib bay. The nose, center, and trailing rib
segments are riveted together through the front and rear spars to form the basic airfoil section. Spanwise, Alclad stringers
stiffen the skin between ribs.
2. Wing Rib Damage Classification
A. Damage to the wing rib can be divided into three major categories and is detailed in Wing Damage Classification.
3. Wing Rib Repair
