Longeron

Longerons are structural components used in the construction of aircraft frames. They are typically long, slender beams that run parallel to the fuselage or wing of an aircraft. Longerons provide structural support and help distribute the loads and stresses experienced during flight.

In the supply class Airframe Structural Components, longerons are specifically categorized as part of the aerospace craft and structural components group. This group includes various components used in the construction and assembly of aircraft, such as frames, ribs, spars, stringers, and longerons.

Longerons are typically made from materials such as aluminum or composite materials, depending on the specific requirements of the aircraft. They are designed to be lightweight yet strong enough to withstand the forces encountered during flight.

Overall, longerons play a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of an aircraft, ensuring its safety and performance.
