Systems and methods are provided for structurally supporting an aircraft wing. The system comprises a section of aircraft wing that includes skin. The skin surrounds an internal volume of the wing and comprises layers of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) having fiber orientations aligned to bear shear stresses applied to the wing. The section of aircraft wing also includes planked stringers that are laterally oriented within the wing, contact the skin within the internal volume, are attached to the skin, and comprise layers of CFRP having fiber orientations that are aligned to bear bending at the wing. Furthermore, the section includes spars that are positioned between planked stringers on an upper portion of the wing and planked stringers on a lower portion of the wing, wherein the spars are aligned with the planked stringers.
