Abstract
null null In this study, low-velocity impacts were applied to an aircraft wing box fabricated by co-curing its spar and skin. The impact points were located at the bay (type A), the T joint (type B), and the spar (type C). The contact force and the energy absorbed by the wing box were compared with those of a full-scale horizontal tail. The contact force of the latter was lower while the energy absorbed was greater. An analytical model is...
