In some embodiments, an aircraft includes a structural assembly, a skin, and a snubber. The structural assembly comprises a first rigid element and a second rigid element. The first and second rigid elements are separated from each over by a void. The skin is disposed proximate to the structural assembly and adjacent to the void such that the skin would deflect into the void in response to an impact force received by the skin. The snubber is disposed in the void between the first and second rigid elements and positioned such that, when the skin deflects in response to the impact force, the skin contacts the snubber and the snubber reduces further deflection of the skin into the void.
