A side of body carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite rib assembly that is formed by connecting an aft CFRP rib web, a middle CFRP rib web, and a forward CFRP rib web together. The side of body CFRP rib assembly includes a plurality of stiffeners connected to the aft CFRP rib web, the middle CFRP rib web, or the forward CFRP rib web. A first stiffener connects the aft CFRP rib web with the middle CFRP rib web and a second stiffener connected the forward CFRP rib web to the middle CFRP rib web. The stiffeners may be connected via fasteners or may be co-bonded or co-cured with the side of body CFRP rib web. The stiffeners connected to the side of body CFRP rib assembly may include more than one shape and may be aluminum, a thermoset, and/or a thermoplastic.
