Nose Rib and False Rib

[Miguel]

Hi, guys. I have one question: The profile of the nose rib 1401-1L/R is equal to the false rib 0873-1L/R?
I think so, but I´m not sure and would like the opinion of someone who knows more than me.
Many thanks, and good week end for alls.-

Re: Nose Rib and False Rib

You are correct, Miguel, the profile is the same.

The false rib is to support the air loads on the aluminium leading edge in between the full ribs.
