Shell arrangement for a fuselage of an aircraft and fuselage for an aircraft

A shell arrangement for a fuselage of an aircraft, the shell arrangement comprising:

• a first shell portion, which extends in a curved manner in a shell peripheral direction;
• and
• a second shell portion, which extends in a curved manner in the shell peripheral direction;
• wherein, in an overlapping portion of the shell arrangement, a first end region of the first shell portion and a second end region of the second shell portion overlap each other in the shell peripheral direction;
• wherein, in the overlapping portion of the shell arrangement, a first outer face of the first shell portion and a second inner face of the second shell portion are adhesively bonded to each other by an adhesive layer;
• wherein an edge of the first shell portion, at which the first end region is terminated with respect to the shell peripheral direction, extends in the overlapping portion in an undulating manner in a shell longitudinal direction, the shell longitudinal direction being oriented to extend transversely relative to the shell peripheral direction;
• wherein the second shell portion has, in the second end region, an inclination that is defined by a second outer face of the second shell portion, the second outer face of the second shell portion being oriented in an opposite direction to the second inner face and shaped so as to reduce a thickness of the second shell portion in the shell peripheral direction to form an edge that terminates the second end region with respect to the shell peripheral direction;
• and
• wherein the inclination has an inclination length that is defined in the shell peripheral direction, the inclination length being in a range between 20 percent and 60 percent of an overlapping depth, the overlapping depth being defined in the shell peripheral direction.
