Abstract
A method of manufacturing flying surface and fuselage portions for an aircraft includes the steps of forming respective upper (44) and lower (46, 48) flying surface and fuselage skins at least one of which is an integrated i.e. unitary or one-piece flying surface and fuselage skin; forming a frame (24) including a plurality of transverse integrated fuselage and wing spar elements linked in longitudinal spaced apart relationship by longitudinal support members for supporting the respective upper and lower flying surface fuselage skins; machining the frame so as to match the contours required for the inner surfaces of the upper and lower flying surface skins; and attaching the respective upper and lower flying surface and fuselage skins to said frame. In this way the flying surfaces (wings, for example) and fuselage are both formed from the same structure (frame 24). Thus, the requirement for wing to fuselage attachment points is obviated, therefore saving weight and improving aerodynamic efficiency of the aircraft Frame 24 is of metal. Skins (44, 46, 48) may be of fibre-reinforced composites. <IMAGE>
