Default airplane construction

Cessna uses a bolt installed in shear through fittings like
you fingers meshed. This is called "double shear" and as
long as the bolt is a snug fit in the hole the bolt can hold
more load than the airplane is designed to experience.
But a bolt in tension is stronger than a bolt in shear.



But you don't want to be standing under the wing if someone jerks the stut
off.

Boink!!!
