A panel assembly with a panel and a stringer is disclosed. The stringer has a stringer foot and an upstanding stringer web. The stringer foot has a flange which extends in a widthwise direction between the stringer web and a lateral edge and in a lengthwise direction alongside the stringer web, and a foot run-out which extends between the flange and a tip of the stringer foot. The foot run-out is bonded to the panel at a foot run-out interface. Reinforcement elements, such as tufts, pass through the foot run-out interface into the panel. The reinforcement elements are distributed across the foot run-out interface in a series of rows including an end row nearest to the tip of the stringer foot and further rows spaced progressively further from the tip of the stringer foot. At least the end row has three or more of the reinforcement elements which are distributed along a polygonal curve.
