constructed with bulkheads, formers, stringers, and stressed skin. Major components include
the following:

wings are attached;

a bulkhead incorporating the rear door posts, which includes forgings at the base
of the rear door posts for attachment of the main landing gear;
c.
a bulkhead incorporating the front door posts, which includes fittings for
attachment of the wing struts;
d.
four engine mount stringers connecting the forward door posts / bulkhead to the
engine firewall; and

a stainless steel engine firewall, which provides a fire barrier between the engine
compartment and the cabin, and is also a major structural component for
attachment of the engine mounts and the nose landing gear.
