Abstract
A pressure fuselage of an aircraft, which fuselage in longitudinal direction comprises several fuselage sections, wherein at least one rear dome-shaped pressure bulkhead is provided to form an aircraft-internal pressurized region, with a ring-shaped frame element profile being provided for radially outward attachment of said dome-shaped pressure bulkhead to at least one fuselage section, wherein the frame element profile on the side of the dome-shaped pressure bulkhead comprises a U-shaped profile section whose first end-side limb is attached towards the back on the dome-shaped pressure bulkhead by way of connecting means, and whose elongated radially outward extending second limb establishes a connection to the at least one fuselage section in such a manner that it is possible for the connecting means to be installed solely from the aircraft-internal pressurized region.
