ATA 53-00 FUSELAGE
INTRODUCTION
The fuselage is of conventional semi-monocoque construction using fail
safe principles. It consists mainly of light alloy frames and stringers Pressure vents are installed to cater for rapid decompression of the
supporting rolled and stretch formed skin panels. Stringers are of top hat pressurized cabin or cargo compartments.
closed section bonded to the skin, except for those in the lower keel
which are open Z section and riveted. Capping stringers and doublers
are used at frame positions.
The fuselage is divided into four sections which are:
1. Nose section - Frame 1 to 19 plus the radome.
2. Centre section - Frame 19 to 33.
3. Rear section - Frame 33 to 44.
4. Tail section - Frame 44 to 50 plus the airbrake.
The pressurized area of the fuselage is located between frame 4(front
pressure bulkhead) and frame 44 (rear pressure dome). This includes the
cabin, flight deck and the whole of the under floor area, with the
exception of the wing centre section box and the nose and main landing
gear cut-outs.
Doors, windows and under floor compartment hatches are fitted in
reinforced cut-outs and are flush fitted to maintain aerodynamic
smoothness.
A non-metallic membrane provides a vapour barrier isolating the wing
box section from the cabin between frames 26 and 29.
The vertical stabilizer is attached to the tail section at frames 45 and 50
and is supported by reinforcing longerons and crossbeams.

DESCRIPTION
NOSE SECTION
The radome is attached to frame 1 by adjustable hinges and located by
spigots. Four latches secure the radome to the frame. The radome is
made of a Nomex sandwich shell fitted with a rubber nose cap.
The double curvature nose section is of stringerless construction with
close pitch Z section frames supporting stretch formed skin panels. It
includes the front pressure bulkhead and a canopy consisting of
machined window frames attached to pillars joining upper and lower
canopy rails.
The nose section also contains a reinforced cut-out and structural box to
accommodate the nose landing gear, and reinforced cut-outs for the front
passenger, front service and electrical equipment bay doors. The front
passenger and service door surrounds are machined between frames 15
and 18.
The flight deck floor is supported on lateral beams with longitudinal
intercostals. The beams are linked to the nose section frames.

CENTRE SECTION
The centre section located between frames 19 and 33 is of circular cross
section with a maximum diameter of 11.65ft. (3.56m). It houses the wing
centre box between frames 26 and 29 and the main landing gear bay
between frames 29 and 32. Frame 26 also incorporates the front jacking
points. All three frames are machined. The Centre of Gravity (C of G)
datum is measured from two datum plates in the left and right main
landing gear bays.
The top hat section stringers are bonded to the skin and the Z section
stringers, located in the lower keel area, are riveted. Cut-outs for the front
cargo compartment door, hydraulic equipment bay door and passenger
cabin windows are reinforced.
The wing to fuselage and main landing gear fairings are of non-metallic
honeycomb sandwich material and are removable for inspection and
routine maintenance.
A dorsal fin fairing runs aft from frame 29 to the vertical stabilizer.
Located in this are the air supply pipes and the APU fuel feed pipe.
Spring loaded spine venting doors are fitted at frame 33.
The cabin floor is supported by lateral beams and longitudinal
intercostals. The beams are braced by struts secured to the keel frames.
The cabin floor, between frames 20 and 43, is of Nomex sandwich
construction made up from 28 separate panels. The common size panels
are interchangeable.

REAR SECTION
The rear section from frame 33 to 44 is circular and incorporates
stringers and frames similar to the centre section. Frames 41 and 43 are
machined frames and locate the rear passenger and service doors. The
rear pressure dome is located at frame 44.Reinforced cut-outs are
provided for the rear passenger door, rear service door, and rear cargo
bay door and passenger cabin windows.
To improve vertical stabilizer to fuselage sealing, the spine skin panels
aft of frame 40 are removable to enable renewal of panel seals.

TAIL SECTION
In the tail section, frames 45 to 50 are diagonals separated by bracing
struts. The vertical stabilizer front spar and the rear jacking point are
attached to frame 45. The vertical stabilizer rear spar is attached to frame
50.
A reinforced cut-out for the air conditioning bay door is provided. Aft of
frame 50 crossbeams, shear panels and longerons support the airbrake
hinge points and attachments for the APU and its firewalls. The lower
segment incorporates a reinforced cut-out for the APU bay door.
The airbrake is hinged to frame 50 by blade assemblies. It consists of
two similar light alloy structures fabricated from ribs, stiffeners and skins.

TAIL BUMPER
A tail bumper, under the air-conditioning bay door, comprises a tail
bumper arm pivoting at the front and a honeycomb block enclosed in a
fairing.
Inspection after tail bumper inpact

Remove fairing and check bumper for scraping or damage. If no damage
to bumper, repair fairing or install new fairing.
Where scraping or damage to tail bumper has occurred, check the
following :-
• Bumper compression block for signs of compression damage.
• Support pressing for distortion or damage.
• Air conditioning bay door structure for distortion or damage.
• Shear pin for distortion or fracture.
Where damage is indicated check the following :-
• Air conditioning bay door hinges and attachments for cracks,
distortion and signs of damage.
• The surrounding area of fuselage for damage or distortion.
• Check tail bumper damage is within limits If within allowable
limits, restore protective treatment.
If tail bumper is scraped beyond allowable limits, perform repair.
• Renew all damaged components, as necessary.
• Install tail bumper assembly and fairing.
NOTE: Tail bumper exists only on AVRO RJ 70 and 85 aircraft

CORROSION PREVENTION
Internal treatment of the structure is by chromic acid anodizing, chromic
enriched epoxy primer paint and a polyurethane top coat.
Drain valves are installed in the fuselage keel between frame 8 and 33 to
allow water to drain from the aircraft. A positive pressure inside the cabin,
with respect to ambient pressure, will automatically close the valves.

PRESSURE VENTS
Two spring loaded blow out panels are located in the roof lining of the
two cargo compartments. One for the forward compartment fitted
between frames 21 and 22, and that for the rear compartment between
frames 35 and 36.
They hinge open when there is a significant positive pressure in the
cargo compartment above that of the cabin by 2psi. These panels must
be rest manually.

ACOUSTIC SEALS
The four doors in the passenger cabin are each acoustically sealed by
three flaps fitted on the door surround.

AIRBRAKES
Each airbrake is a light alloy riveted component comprising:
• two hinge blades: upper and lower
• seven frames
• seven stringers
• edge members and intercostals
• inner and outer skins
Airbrake alignment brackets are installed between frames 5 and 6 to
align the two airbrakes when closed. A conical spigot is installed in the
left airbrake bracket and it engages a conical receptacle in the right
airbrake bracket. The receptacle engages a groove in the spigot to retain
the airbrakes closed, assisted by a circular spring, when hydraulic
pressure is released.
A reversible hoisting eye is installed at frame 3 between stringers 1 and
2.
The hinge blades are machined with bushed lugs for the attachment of
the actuator (upper blade) and compensator strut (lower blade), and lugs
containing self-lubricating spherical bearings for the hinge attachments.
