  • Compression chord for a fuselage
    Patent number: 11649033
    Abstract: A fuselage for an aircraft includes a pressure deck assembly extending along a roll axis of the fuselage. The pressure deck assembly includes longitudinal beams and a pressure deck. The longitudinal beams extend lengths along the roll axis of the fuselage. The pressure deck extends between the longitudinal beams along the lengths of the longitudinal beams. The pressure deck is compliant along a pitch axis of the fuselage. The fuselage includes a bulkhead extending along a yaw axis of the fuselage. The bulkhead is joined to the pressure deck assembly at a corner joint. The fuselage includes a compression chord extending a length along the pitch axis of the fuselage. The compression chord is joined between the pressure deck assembly and the bulkhead at the corner joint such that the compression chord extends on an outside of the corner joint.
