Systems and methods are provided for integrating structural components of a wing box. One embodiment is a system that includes outboard planked stringers within an outboard section of a wing box and are co-cured with composite skin at the outboard section. Each outboard planked stringer of the outboard section includes planar layers of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) that are parallel with the composite skin at the outboard section, have fiber orientations aligned to bear tension and compression applied to the wing box, and each extend a different distance along the composite skin at the outboard section. The system also includes center planked stringers within the center section and are co-cured with composite skin at the center section. Each center planked stringer of the center section includes planar layers of CFRP that are parallel with the composite skin at the center section, have fiber orientations aligned to bear tension and compression applied to the wing box, and each extend a different distance along the skin at the center section.
