An aircraft fuselage is constructed of a plurality of cylindrical semi-monocoque fuselage sections that are each constructed with mirrored screw threads on either their interior or exterior surfaces. The screw threads of adjacent fuselage sections are secured together end-to-end by a sleeve having complementary screw threads. The sleeve is positioned between adjacent fuselage sections that are held against rotation, but are free to move in translation towards each other. The sleeve is engaged with the screw threads of the adjacent fuselage sections and is rotated, causing the adjacent fuselage sections to move toward each other and into secure engagement in response to the rotating sleeve.

    Fuselage d'aéronef constitué d'une pluralité de sections de fuselage cylindriques semi-monocoques, qui sont chacune constituées de pas de vis en miroir sur leurs surfaces intérieure ou extérieure. Les pas de vis de sections de fuselage adjacentes sont fixés ensemble bout-à-bout par un manchon possédant des pas de vis complémentaires. Le manchon est positionné entre des sections de fuselage adjacentes qui sont maintenues pour ne pas tourner, mais sont libres de se déplacer en translation l'une vers l'autre. Le manchon est en prise avec les pas de vis des sections de fuselage adjacentes et est mis en rotation, amenant les sections de fuselage adjacentes à se déplacer l'une vers l'autre et en prise sûre en réaction au manchon rotatif.
