  • Patent number: 11383817
    Abstract: Modular fuselage assemblies for aircraft, aircraft including modular fuselage assemblies, and methods of assembling modular fuselage assemblies. A modular fuselage assembly includes a plurality of fuselage lobes that may extend along a longitudinal axis of the modular fuselage assembly. Each fuselage lobe includes a plurality of frame members and a lobe skin that is operatively attached to the plurality of frame members and defines an external surface of the fuselage lobe. The modular fuselage assembly also includes a plurality of longerons extending along a longitudinal axis of the modular fuselage assembly. At least two fuselage lobes are operatively attached to each longeron and the plurality of fuselage lobes and the plurality of longerons at least partially bound a cargo hold defined within the modular fuselage assembly. The methods include methods of assembling the modular fuselage assemblies.
