Abstract

Embodiments of integral composite panels and joints for composite structures are described In one implementation, an integrated panel (104) spanning substantially the entire wingspan of an aircraft, includes at least a center portion (110) and a pair of outwardly projecting wing portions (106, 108). The portions may include a skin formed from successive layers or plies of composite material which overlap and offset at the joint between respective sections creating a pad-up area to carry loads between the portions. In a particular implementation, the skin is laid over one or more structural stringers (112) which are transitioned into the joints (116, 118) between sections such as by tapering of the thickness and/or stiffness of the stringer.
