Fuselage segment and method for manufacturing a fuselage segment

A fuselage segment (2) that extends in a longitudinal fuselage segment axis (A) and is closed in a circumferential direction (U) around a coordinate axis in the form of this longitudinal fuselage segment axis, wherein the circumferential direction (U) lies in a radial plane, relative to which the longitudinal fuselage segment axis (A) extends perpendicularly, and wherein the fuselage segment features:

• a plurality of shell components (4) for forming a skin of the fuselage segment (2) that respectively feature two first shell component edges (6) extending along a longitudinal shell component direction (LS) and two second shell component edges (10) extending along a lateral shell component direction (BS), wherein the shell components (4) are respectively connected to at least one adjacent shell component (4) along at least one first shell component edge (6) and to at least one adjacent shell component (4) along at least one second shell component edge (10), and
• a support structure, on which each of the shell components (4) is mounted, characterized in that the plurality of shell components (4) is arranged in such a way that the local direction of the first shell component edges (6), on which two respective shell components (4) are connected to one another, and/or the local direction of the second shell component edges (10), on which two respective shell components (4) are connected to one another, at least sectionally extend at an acute angle (α) to the radial plane defined by the longitudinal fuselage segment axis (A) and, in particular, at an angle (α) of 30° to 60° relative to the radial plane defined by the longitudinal fuselage segment axis (A).
