Jointing of fuselage skin around aircraft windows

摘要

A joint is arranged in the vicinity of a row of windows (4-7), such that the course of the joint is not interrupted by the windows. The frames (10-13) are included as rip-stoppers to prevent propagation of cracks. The skin sections in the remaining regions of the joint are connected directly to each other. This connection can also take the form of butt-joints or overlapping joints.
