Abstract

A fuselage includes a fuselage section with an inner surface having a non-circular contour and a spherical pressure bulkhead with an outer edge. The outer edge of the spherical pressure bulkhead is attached to the inner surface of the fuselage section and extends along a line, which is non-circular. The line extends in a three-dimensional space extending parallel to the inner surface of the fuselage section. An aircraft and a method for manufacturing a fuselage are also described.
