A nacelle (100) is disclosed. The nacelle (100) may include an inner fixed structure ("IFS") (200) comprising a first half (108; 202A), the first half (108; 202A) comprising a central barrel portion, wherein the first half (108; 202A) includes a first member (204) that extends radially outward from the central barrel portion and a second member (208) that extends radially outward from the central barrel portion radially opposite the first member (204), a first support structure (212) overlaid by a first composite material that extends axially along a confluence between the central barrel portion and the first member (204), the first support structure (212) configured to contact a second half (202B) comprising a second central barrel portion, and a second support structure (214) overlaid by a second composite material that extends axially along the confluence between the central barrel and the second member (206), the second support structure (214) configured to contact the second half (202B).
