rib

rib
The part of an aircraft structure that gives the aerodynamic shape to the wing and support to the spars stabilizes the spars against twisting and the stringers and the skin against buckling, and passes concentrated loads into the skin and the spars. In a wing, the ribs run from the leading to the trailing edge, and they are cambered to form an airfoil section and give the wing its shape. A covering is provided to this framework.
