    Abstract: A vented hat stringer for an aircraft comprises a first hat-stringer leg with a first-hat-stringer-leg surface, a second hat-stringer leg with a second-hat-stringer-leg surface, a first hat-stringer sidewall, a second hat-stringer sidewall, and a hat-stringer connecting wall, comprising a hat-stringer-connecting-wall surface and a virtual hat-stringer-connecting-wall symmetry plane, passing through hat-stringer connecting wall. The vented hat stringer further comprises a ventilation opening, extending through at least one of the first hat-stringer sidewall or the hat-stringer connecting wall, or extending through at least one of the second hat-stringer sidewall or the hat-stringer connecting wall. The ventilation opening defines a ventilation-opening centerline, wherein the ventilation-opening centerline does not coincide with the virtual hat-stringer-connecting-wall symmetry plane.

    Abstract: A stringer beam joint structure of an aircraft formed from fiber-reinforced composites includes a wing and a wing box. The wing is joined to the wing box at a side of a joint structure. The wing and the wing box each includes a lower skin. A plurality of stringers is coupled to the lower skin and all made of fiber-reinforced composites. A first end of at least one of the plurality of stringers at the side of the joint structure features a web cutout with a taper formed in the base flange that spans longitudinal to the respective stringer and the taper located at the end of each respective stringer, where the taper runs from a knife edge of a base flange of the respective stringer to a full height of the base flange. The tapered surface of the base flange is contiguous with an edge of the web cutout.

    Abstract: A method of installing a door in an access opening in a skin of an aircraft. A composite inner door panel is positioned against an inside face of the skin. A composite outer door panel is positioned against an outside face of the skin. A plurality of fasteners is installed through fastener openings in the composite outer door panel. The plurality of fasteners is tightened to form a chamfered interface between the skin and the composite outer door panel.

    Abstract: A hat-stringer assembly (100) for an aircraft (500) comprises a hat stringer (110) with a first hat-stringer leg (140), a second hat-stringer leg (150), a first hat-stringer sidewall (114), a connecting wall (112), a second hat-stringer sidewall (116), and a ventilation opening (128), extending through the connecting wall (112). The hat stringer assembly (100) also comprises a fitting (200), comprising a first channel member (210) in contact with the first hat-stringer sidewall (114) and the first hat-stringer leg (140). The fitting (200) also comprises a second channel member (240) in contact with the second hat-stringer sidewall (116) and the second hat-stringer leg (150). The fitting (200) further comprises a web cap (260), in contact with the first channel member (210) and the second channel member (240). The web cap (260) comprises a web-cap opening (262), which is in fluidic communication with the ventilation opening (128).

    Abstract: A closeout fitting for a hat stringer includes a cover that has a fitting surface. The fitting surface is substantially complementary to at least a portion of an outer surface of the hat stringer. The cover is configured to couple against the hat stringer outer surface. The cover also includes a first portion configured to extend across a gap defined in a cap portion of the hat stringer. The closeout fitting also includes an insert. The insert includes a first outer perimeter surface that is substantially complementary to at least a portion of an interior surface of a channel defined by the hat stringer. The insert is configured to couple against the channel interior surface proximate the hat stringer closeout portion. The insert and the cover are formed with a suitable stiffness to limit a deformation of the hat stringer proximate the closeout portion.
