Abstract

A pressure bulkhead for an aircraft fuselage having a skin element, with a first surface and a second surface, a circumferential edge and a center axis, and a reinforcement assembly, which has radially disposed reinforcement elements extending along the first surface radially between an outer end at the edge of the skin element and an inner end, which faces the center axis, wherein, in a cross section, which extends radially along the center axis, each of the radially disposed reinforcement elements defines first and second contour lines, each extending from the outer end of the radially disposed reinforcement elements to the inner end thereof, and the reinforcement assembly resting with the first contour lines thereof on the first surface of the skin element. A pressure bulkhead for an aircraft fuselage can efficiently absorb occurring pressure loads.
