![]() First, for example, the fiber ribs 54 may be configured such that they terminate at the location on the inner surface of the outer skin 56 at which the spar caps 24 are located. Whatever the case, the spar caps 24 and (via the connection the spar caps 24 make with shear web 22) the shear web 22 may be used in conjunction with the rib-stiffened shell 50 of the present invention in several ways. ![]() In such cases, the spar caps 24 generally are integrally formed with the shell or affixed to the inside surface of the shell via conventional means, and the shear web 22 is integrally formed with the spar caps 24 or affixed to the spar caps 24 via conventional means. For example, as described above, spar members 22 generally consist of spar caps 24 that secure the shear web 22 structural member that extends across the hollow interior of the airfoil (generally extending from the pressure side of the airfoil to the suction side of the airfoil). ![]() 2), other similar structural members, or other structural elements, it will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art that the rib-stiffened shell 50 according to the present invention may accommodate and incorporate these. ![]() In addition, in the event the design of the rotor blade 10/airfoil 48 includes the use of spar members 20 (as shown in FIG. ![]()
