Item Name Code (INC) 41030
![]() |
An auxiliary longitudinal member of the structural framework of a fuselage, nacelle, empennage, wing, and the like. It is designed to stiffen and/or support the skin by attachment of bulkheads, formers, frames, ribs, and the like.
Additional Information for Aircraft Stringer
Aircraft stringers are structural components used in the construction of an aircraft's fuselage. They are long, thin, and typically made of aluminum or composite materials. Stringers run longitudinally along the length of the fuselage and provide additional strength and rigidity to the structure.
Stringers are attached to the frames or bulkheads of the aircraft and help distribute the loads and stresses experienced during flight. They also serve as attachment points for other components, such as skin panels and interior fittings.
In the supply class Airframe Structural Components, aircraft stringers are categorized as part of the overall airframe structure. This class includes various components that contribute to the structural integrity and performance of the aircraft.
Within the supply group Aerospace Craft And Structural Components, the airframe structural components are further classified based on their specific functions and applications in aerospace craft. This group encompasses a wide range of components, including but not limited to stringers, frames, ribs, spars, and panels.
Overall, aircraft stringers play a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity and strength of an aircraft's fuselage, ensuring safe and efficient flight operations.
