Wing Skin/Stringer Riveting
Side-of-Body (root rib, stringers, skin, etc.) The rarely photographed wing root section shows the refined design of the upper wing skin stringer ends which form part of the side of body structural join with the center wing box. The attachment area was redesigned after the upper wing skin stringers delaminated in load testing in 2009. The issue caused first flight of the 787 to be delayed from June to December 2009. http://aviationweek.com/blog/787-9-inside-and-787-production-update
