Structural component

1. A structural component for an aircraft, comprising:

a body with a first surface and a lug that extends out of the first surface, wherein the body and lug comprise a composite material and are integrally formed, and wherein the lug comprises a first element that extends at an angle from the first surface of the body and a second element that extends at an angle from a second surface that is at an angle to the first surface,

wherein the lug comprises a first flap of material that is folded out of the first surface at a first end of the body to form the first element, and a second flap of material that is folded out of the second surface at a second opposing end of the body to form the second element, and

wherein the first and second elements are integrally formed.

2. A structural component according to claim 1 , wherein the lug extends substantially perpendicularly to the first surface.

3. A structural component according to claim 1 , wherein the first element extends substantially perpendicularly to the first surface of the body and the second element extends substantially perpendicularly to the second body surface.

4. A structural component according to claim 1 , wherein the lug comprises a first flap of material that is folded out of the first surface to form the first element and a second flap of material that is folded out of the second surface to form the second element.

5. A structural component according to claim 4 , wherein the first flap of material is cut out of the first surface and/or the second flap of material is cut out of the second surface.

6. A structural component according to claim 1 , wherein the first element is substantially coplanar with the second element.

7. A structural component according to claim 1 , wherein the lug is co-cured with the body.

8. A structural component according to claim 1 , wherein the lug and the portion of the body from which the lug extends are manufactured from a single piece of material.

9. A structural component according claim 1 , wherein the body comprises a fin portion and a foot portion.

10. A structural component according to claim 1 , wherein the structural component comprises a bracket.

11. A structural component according to claim 10 , wherein the bracket is configured to be secured to a stringer, rib or strut for an aircraft and, wherein the bracket is configured to be co-cured to said stringer, rib or strut for an aircraft.

12. An aircraft structure, comprising:

a bracket and a structural component, wherein the bracket comprises a body with a first surface and a lug that comprises a first element that extends at an angle out of the first surface and second element that extends at an angle from the second surface, and wherein the first and second elements are integrally formed, wherein the body and lug comprise a composite material and are integrally formed, and

wherein the lug comprises a first flap of material that is folded out of the first surface at a first end of the body to form the first element, and a second flap of material that is folded out of the second surface at a second opposing end of the body to form the second element, and

wherein the structural component is in the form of a stringer, rib or strut and comprises a body, wherein the lug of the bracket is mounted to the exterior of the body of the structural component.

13. A structural component for an aircraft, comprising:

a body with a first surface bounded within peripheral edges of the body;

a lug that extends out of the first surface;

wherein the body and lug comprise a composite material and are integrally formed; and,

wherein the lug comprises a first element that extends at an angle from the first surface of the body,

wherein the lug comprises a first flap of material that is folded out of the first surface at a first end of the body to form the first element, and a second flap of material that is folded out of the second surface at a second opposing end of the body to form the second element.
