Wings, Top Wing Skins (Part 24)

This morning we started bucking rivets in the Inboard and Outboard Top Wing Skins for the Left Wing....lots and lots of rivets!!  

Here is the Left Wing with all the rivets installed, including the J-Stiffener.

Another angle of the Left Wing.....

In this section of the Wing, you can see the two vertical rows of rivets where the Inboard and Outboard Skins overlap.  Additionally, this is also the area where the two J-Stiffeners (long and short) overlap.

The inboard section under the Wing Walk showing the J-Stiffener-short installed.

After all the rivets were installed, the seven #19 holes had to be countersunk for the dimpled skin of a #8 screw....you can see them here.....



Tomorrow, we will install the last 10 rivets in the Outboard Aileron Hinge Bracket and Section 16 will be complete!
