University of Illinois Researchers Replace Traditional Wing Ribs With Bioinspired Lattices

TechXplore Engineering reports that a team from The Grainger College of Engineering has developed aircraft wing structures modeled after the hollow, thin-walled bones of birds. By moving away from standard parallel stiffeners and toward irregular 3D-printed geometries, the engine
