Overview
The fuselage is a semi-monocoque assembly with aluminum alloy frames and stringers. It supplies the space for the pilot and copilot, the passengers, the baggage and the equipment. The fuselage has forward, center, and rear sections attached together. It also includes attachments for the wing, tail cone, engines, nose landing gear, vertical and horizontal stabilizers, and wing body fairing.
The fuselage pressurized area is from the bulkhead forward of the flight compartment to the bulkhead aft of the cabin. The full circumference of the fuselage is pressurized other than the wing/fuselage connection and the wheel wells.
