wing box

The wing box of an airplane is the structural component from which the wings extend. The section of the fuselage between the wing roots. This is the strongest structural area of the aircraft, and suffers the most frequent shear stresses. Modern (post 1955) aircraft often locate the main landing gear near the wing roots to take advantage of the structural strength they afford.
