2. Component Description
A. Wingtip/Sharklet
The structure of the wingtip is made of aluminum alloy. The wingtip includes:
The wingtip is attached to the outboard end of the wingbox with bolts. These go through the wingtip skin and attach to straps on RIB27. Two spigots, also installed on RIB27, make sure that the wingtip is in the correct position.
Two lights are installed in the leading edge of the wingtip:
A retainer for a static discharger (Ref. AMM D/O 23-60-00-00) is attached to the wingtip at the trailing edge.
There are two access holes in the wingtip:
The structure of the sharklet is made of aluminum alloy. The sharklet includes:
The sharklet is attached to the outboard end of the wingbox through a:
The tension fitting at the top of the joint uses eight tension bolts to attach the sharklet Rib 27A to Rib 27.
The multi-lug and pin arrangement at the bottom of the joint has:
Two lights are installed in the leading edge of the sharklet:
Five retainers for the static dischargers (Ref. AMM D/O 23-60-00-00) are attached to the sharklet at the trailing edge.
There is one access hole in the closing rib adjacent to RIB27, which is closed with a closing plate.
The structure of the wingtip is made of aluminum alloy. The wingtip includes:
- two machined ribs adjacent to the wingtip fence
- flanged sheet-metal ribs
- an extruded trailing-edge section
- top and bottom etched skins.
The wingtip is attached to the outboard end of the wingbox with bolts. These go through the wingtip skin and attach to straps on RIB27. Two spigots, also installed on RIB27, make sure that the wingtip is in the correct position.
Two lights are installed in the leading edge of the wingtip:
- the navigation light (Ref. AMM D/O 33-41-00-00)
- the anti-collision strobe light (Ref. AMM D/O 33-48-00-00).
A retainer for a static discharger (Ref. AMM D/O 23-60-00-00) is attached to the wingtip at the trailing edge.
There are two access holes in the wingtip:
- one access hole in the bottom skin, which is closed with the access door 534AB(634AB)
- one access hole in the closing rib adjacent to RIB27, which is closed with a closing plate.
The structure of the sharklet is made of aluminum alloy. The sharklet includes:
- two metal mid-spars
- eight flanged-sheet-metal ribs
- an extruded trailing-edge section
- top and bottom solid-laminate panels.
The sharklet is attached to the outboard end of the wingbox through a:
- tension fitting at the top of the joint
- multi-lug and pin arrangement at the bottom of the joint.
The tension fitting at the top of the joint uses eight tension bolts to attach the sharklet Rib 27A to Rib 27.
The multi-lug and pin arrangement at the bottom of the joint has:
- six lug pairs
- two steel pins on the forward half and the aft half of the joint.
Two lights are installed in the leading edge of the sharklet:
- the navigation light (Ref. AMM D/O 33-41-00-00)
- the anti-collision strobe light (Ref. AMM D/O 33-48-00-00).
Five retainers for the static dischargers (Ref. AMM D/O 23-60-00-00) are attached to the sharklet at the trailing edge.
There is one access hole in the closing rib adjacent to RIB27, which is closed with a closing plate.
B. Wingtip Fence
The wingtip fence is made of aluminum alloy. It has:
The wingtip fence is attached to the outboard edge of the wingtip with bolts. These go through a machined fitting in the fence into a machined rib in the wingtip. Two spigots attached to the wingtip make sure the wingtip fence is in the correct position.
Four retainers for static dischargers (Ref. AMM D/O 23-60-00-00) are attached to the wingtip fence at the trailing edge.
There are two access holes in the outboard skin of the wingtip fence. These give access to the attachment bolts and are closed with access doors.
