An aircraft wing made of a composite material, and its method of manufacture, require a plurality of kabobs (i.e. substantially rectangular shaped hollow tubes having an open end and a closed end). Of these kabobs, several are aligned end-to-end, to create a section. Several sections are then positioned side-by-side and covered by a layer of composite material to define an aerodynamic surface for the wing. The juxtaposed sections also establish spar webs for the wing, and the closed ends of the juxtaposed sections establish transverse ribs for the wing. Thus, the kabobs form the main load-bearing member of the wing. The sections of composite material are co-cured with the composite material of the aerodynamic surface.
