Pressure bulkhead system

Abstract:

The illustrative embodiments disclose a pressure bulkhead system comprising an aft pressure bulkhead, skin splice angles, and stringer splice angles. The aft pressure bulkhead has an outer compression ring. The skin splice angles are positioned adjacent to one another and joined to the outer compression ring. The skin splice angles form a joint between a first section of a fuselage, a second section of the fuselage, and the aft pressure bulkhead. The stringer splice angles join the skin splice angles to a stringer in the second section of the fuselage.
