Abstract: An aircraft section for aircraft. The aircraft section comprises at least one flight component, such as a wing assembly and a tail assembly, and a first fuselage component. The flight component is mounted on the first fuselage component. The first fuselage component has a first coupling point designed for releasable connection to a second coupling point on a second fuselage component, in order to form an integrated fuselage of an aircraft when in a coupled state. The first coupling point provides a mechanical coupling with a second coupling point, forms a system infrastructure interface, and provides a data transmission device for integrity checking when the aircraft section is coupled to another aircraft section. The first coupling point likewise provides positioning sensors for guided docking of the aircraft section with another aircraft section in a target position.
