Rotational alignment system

Abstract

Techniques are provided for rotational alignment of platform sections. An aeronautical platform implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes a first section; a second section comprising a threaded interface; and a threaded retainer disposed around an end of the first section, that is be coupled to the second section. The threaded retainer is configured to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the first section while rotationally advancing into the threaded interface of the second section. The platform also includes a plurality of alignment pins disposed on the end of the first section and a plurality of alignment holes disposed on the second section. Each of the alignment pins is configured to engage with a corresponding one of the alignment holes to maintain alignment of the first section to the second section as the threaded retainer rotationally advances into the threaded interface.
