Panels for aircraft fuselages, aircraft assemblies, and methods for panels and aircraft assemblies

An aircraft assembly comprising:

• a fuselage comprising a fuselage exterior surface;
• two or more panels comprising at least a first panel and a second panel;
• the first panel comprising:
• a first panel interior surface operatively engaged with the fuselage exterior surface;
• a first panel foam layer comprising a first panel first end, a first panel second end, a foam layer interior surface, and a foam layer exterior surface opposite the foam layer interior surface, wherein the foam layer interior surface is operatively arranged at the first panel interior surface;
• and
• a first panel composite layer comprising a composite layer interior surface operatively engaged with the foam layer exterior surface;
• wherein the first panel first end is oriented at a first end angle relative to the foam layer interior surface, wherein the first end angle is not 90 degrees;
• the second panel comprising:
• a second panel interior surface operatively engaged with fuselage exterior surface;
• a second panel composite layer;
• and
• a second panel foam layer comprising a second panel first end and a second panel second end, wherein the second panel second end is oriented at a second end angle relative to the second panel interior surface, wherein the first end angle corresponds to the second end angle, and wherein the first panel first end operatively engages the second panel second end.

A method comprising:

• operatively engaging a first panel interior surface of a first panel with a fuselage exterior surface of a fuselage, wherein the first panel comprises:
• a first panel foam layer comprising a first panel first end, a first panel second end, a foam layer interior surface, and a foam layer exterior surface opposite the foam layer interior surface, wherein the foam layer interior surface is operatively arranged at the first panel interior surface;
• and
• a first panel composite layer comprising a composite layer interior surface operatively engaged with the foam layer exterior surface;
• wherein the first panel first end is oriented at a first end angle relative to the foam layer interior surface, wherein the first end angle is not 90 degrees.
