This paper presents the results of the recently completed Laminated Hybrid Wing Box program. The study, sponsored by the Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory, involved the development of preliminary designs, and fabrication and test of structural segments of a hybrid (composite/metallic) wingbox for the F-16 Air Combat Fighter. It resulted in a structurally acceptable design with projected weight and cost savings of 7 % and 12 % as compared to the baseline F-16 configuration. The hybrid design utilized a graphite/epoxy lower skin with integral spar caps and bonded laminated aluminum spars and upper skin. (Stoehr)
