Mmmmm, just been thinking ( scary ), if I understand the dynamics involved correctly ( and I'm not 100 % sure I do ), reading that the skin is stressing ( is that right? ), and the ribs are stressing in that area around the big windows ( hence the need to strengthen them ), and while wanting to adhere to the whole " lightness" philosophy as practically possible ( sorry about the P's ), could you not put a heavier guage interior skin in that area to act as something like a sheet brace? Or is it a deflection issue?
