A prior study conducted for the Naval Air Systems Command for application of advanced composites in the XFV-12A aircraft indicated the wing torque box to be the component of airframe structure having the greatest potential for significant weight savings through composite material application. A Phase II design/development program was undertaken to develop detail design concepts for a XFV-12A composite wing box and fabricate a representative section of this wing box for development test and evaluation to provide a base for subsequent Phase III full scale verification testing.
