A hardpoint relief pad is described and includes a base surface, a hardpoint overlay, and a first stress relief area. The base surface is configured to conform to and be fixedly attached to an interior surface of an aerial vehicle wing. The hardpoint overlay protrudes above adjacent areas of the hardpoint relief pad and is adapted to conform to a hardpoint. The hardpoint protrudes from the interior surface of the wing and is configured to carry a load fixed to the hardpoint. The hardpoint overlay includes an oculus that is configured to allow the load to be fixed to the hardpoint through the hardpoint overlay. The first stress relief area protrudes above adjacent areas of the hardpoint relief pad and also forms a hollow cavity between the first stress relief area and the interior surface of the wing.
