Abstract

An aircraft center section includes a center part of an aircraft fuselage, a wing section, a center wing box installed at least partly in the fuselage and providing a junction between the wing section and the fuselage, and a ventral fairing partly enveloping the fuselage and the wing section, with the ventral fairing being attached directly to the wing section and to the fuselage by means of structural elements that can make the ventral fairing a working fairing.
