Abstract
The invention relates to a device, in particular a connection rod, for bracing a fuselage structure and/or for fastening components on the fuselage structure.In one embodiment, the joints are integrated into fuselage structure for linking on both sides of connection rod to fuselage structure. As a result of the integration of joints, a reduced number of individual parts is produced in comparison to previously known embodiments, which leads to a reduction in weight, a reduced maintenance and servicing outlay and an improved reliability against failure. Moreover, device according to the invention enables the introduction of forces in the region of neutral fibers of fuselage structure. A further configuration of device provides only a one-sided articulated linking of a component to fuselage structure by means of (first) end portion. Second end portion is screwed to fuselage structure. To this end, both end portions are provided with a thread at least in sections.
