Method for manufacturing a rear section of an aircraft and aircraft rear section manufactured by said method

A method to mold a rear section of an aircraft comprising:

• arranging pre-cured frames at intervals along a longitudinal axis of the rear section, wherein each of the pre-cured frames includes an annular section which forms a portion a tail cone of the rear section and a beam which forms a portion of a vertical tail plane of the rear section;
• mounting pre-cured stringers in notches in a perimeter of the annular section of the pre-cured frames, wherein the pre-cured stringers each span a plurality of the pre-cured frames;
• covering with a skin the perimeter of the annular section and opposite sides of the beam of the pre-cured frames, and the pre-cured stringers in the notches of the annular section, wherein the skin forms a continuous skin covering the tail cone and at least a portion of the vertical tail plane;
• enclosing an assembly of the pre-cured frames and the pre-cured stringers in a modular mold;
• and
• curing the assembly in the modular mold to form the rear section.
