A movable tension tie assembly (10) for a fuselage of an airplane, includes a plurality of elongate struts (12a) and (12b) having a first end (16) and a second end (28) longitudinally spaced therefrom. The first end of each strut being swingingly connected to the interior of the fuselage for swinging movement of the struts between a retracted position, wherein the struts do not obstruct the interior of the fuselage, and an extended position, wherein the struts extend substantially across the diameter of the interior of the fuselage. The movable tension tie assembly also includes first and second lock assemblies (14a) and (14b) rigidly connected to the interior of the fuselage for locking engagement with the struts. The lock assemblies include a drive motor (17) operatively connected thereto for selectively actuating the locking assembly between a locked position wherein the struts are held in the extended position to limit deflections of the fuselage when the fuselage is pressurized and an unlocked position wherein the struts may be swung into the retracted position.
