pressureBulkheadAssemblyPositionType

A pressure bulkhead closes the pressurised part of the fuselage at a frame, e.g. in front of the cockpit and behind the cabin. The position names the frame; how the bulkhead is built — its sheet, whether it is flat or curved, and its reinforcements — is an element of the library of structural elements (pressureBulkheadType), and one element may be used at several positions.

Surface

The bulkhead closes the cross section of the frame <frameUID>: it spans the surface enclosed by the path of the frame (frameType). A frame with several positions that does not run around the whole fuselage is closed by the straight line from its last position back to its first. A curved bulkhead bulges out of this surface as described in pressureBulkheadType.

Example

The two bulkheads of the example: a flat one at the frame in front of the cockpit and a curved one at the frame behind the cabin:

<pressureBulkheads>
    <pressureBulkhead uID="Fuselage_fwdPressureBulkhead">
        <frameUID>Fuselage_frameFwdBulkhead</frameUID>
        <pressureBulkheadElementUID>FwdPressureBulkhead</pressureBulkheadElementUID>
    </pressureBulkhead>
    <pressureBulkhead uID="Fuselage_aftPressureBulkhead">
        <frameUID>Fuselage_frameAftBulkhead</frameUID>
        <pressureBulkheadElementUID>AftPressureBulkhead</pressureBulkheadElementUID>
    </pressureBulkhead>
</pressureBulkheads>
