		In an aircraft, ribs are forming elements of the structure of a wing, especially in traditional construction.
		By analogy with the anatomical definition above, the ribs attach to the main spar, and by being repeated at frequent intervals, form a skeletal shape for the wing.
		Usually ribs incorporate the aerofoil shape of the wing, and the skin adopts this shape when stretched over the ribs.

	Ribs
		The ribcage is composed of twelve pairs of ribs which articulate with the vertebrae of the spinal column and the sternum (with some exceptions) to create the thoracic cavity.
		The ribs themselves are flat, curved bones, all of which articulate posteriorly with the vertebrae at costal facets.
		Costal (rib) cartilage is the connective tissue which attaches the ribs anteriorly (in the front) to the sternum and posteriorly (in the back) to the vertebrae of the spine.

		On the other hand, women's ribs are thinner and more flexible than men's ribs, and the lower, or floating ribs, are not joined to the sternum.
		In a normal woman, the upper ribs are roughly horizontal, but the x-rays of the Padaung woman show that her upper chest has taken on a conical form, and her upper ribs slope downward from where they are attached to her backbone.
		If such a displacement of the upper ribs, which are anchored at the rear to the backbone and in front to the sternum, is possible, it stands to reason that the floating ribs, attached only to the backbone, are much easier to displace and reshape.

	The Thoracic Cage
		The upper ten ribs articulate anteriorly either directly with the sternum through their costal cartilages (true ribs), or through a fused cartilage (false ribs).
		Posteriorly the ribs articulate with the vertebral bodies (the head of the rib) and the transverse processes (tubercle of the rib).
		The ribs and intercostal spaces can be identified most easily by beginning from the second rib as it articulates at the usually palpable angle of Louis.
