Wingbox is an internal structural term. Not applicable in this case.

Jane, the idea was explored in many ways from Parasol Fokker D.VIII and PBY catalina to the flying wings of Horten and others.

There will always be a compromise between structural requirements of the fuselage in terms of strength, volume and shape and the desire to get the most out of the wing.
