Abstract

An aircraft has a fuselage a wing integral with the fuselage at a point on a rigid central wing box. Sections of the wing are located on sides of the central wing box and integral and fixed relative to the wing box to form a rigid wing. The wing is mounted movably in translation relative to the fuselage along a longitudinal direction of the aircraft parallel to an axis of the fuselage between an extreme forward position and an extreme rear position of a point of reference of the wing. The central wing box is determined in the front by a wing box front spar, in the rear by a wing box rear spar, and laterally by root ribs. Sections of the wing include external front and external rear spars integral with and fixed relative to the wing box front spars and wing box rear spars to form the rigid wing.
