A fixed-wing cargo aircraft having a fuselage wing cutout supported by box beam longerons is disclosed. The fuselage contains a continuous interior cargo bay, and includes a forward portion, an aft portion, and a cutout defined by a plurality of structural elements configured to transfer a wing load to the fuselage, the structural elements including opposite starboard and port longeron beams each spanning a longitudinal length of the cutout. The starboard and port longeron beams have an enclosed box beam construction, which can include a plurality of panel sections, at least one of the plurality of panel sections comprising a skin panel of the fuselage.
