Abstract
A connecting rod for the structural reinforcement of a fuselage structure of an aircraft includes a shank and eyes arranged at the shank ends on both sides for connecting the connecting rod to the fuselage structure. The connecting rod may have a reinforcing arrangement, which is configured as an all-over casing, the casing being formed by mechanically high-strength reinforcing fibers. The casing may also be formed by reinforcing fiber strands, which for their part can include a multiplicity of discrete reinforcing fibers running parallel to one another. Carbon fibers, glass fibers, aramid fibers and high-strength ceramic fibers come into consideration in particular as reinforcing fibers.
