Abstract

In accordance with the method, an inside layer of a fuselage section skin made from first fibers is placed on a manufacturing surface, the first fibers being placed in one or more first fiber directions. On the inside layer, a stiffening structure is formed from stiffening fibers, the stiffening fibers being placed in one or more stiffening fiber directions. An outside layer of the fuselage section skin, comprising fourth fibers, is placed on the stiffening structure formed from stiffening fibers, the fourth fibers being placed in one or more fourth fiber directions. The stiffening structure is designed and developed in such a way that the fuselage section does not require an additional stiffening structure, is connected with the fuselage section skin, and comprises the inside layer, the stiffening structure, and the outside layer; in particular, an additional stiffening structure in the form of stringers and frames is not required.
