The joint (40) includes a flex angle member (50, 85) with a first section (51, 87, 91) shaped to abut against and be connected to the center wing box (20), a second section (52) shaped to abut against and be connected to a first side of the deck of the bulkhead (30), and an intermediate rounded corner (38, 53) positioned between the first and second sections. First support members (70) are attached to the center wing box (20) at first pins (62, 72) and support a first side of the second section of the flex angle member (50, 85). Second support members (60) are attached to the web (33) of the bulkhead (30) at second pins (62, 72) and support a second side of the second section of the flex angle member (50, 85). The first support members (70) are positioned on a first side of the deck of the bulkhead (30) and the second support members (60) are positioned on an opposing second side of the deck.
