    Abstract: A pressure bulkhead may include a bulkhead wall having a radially inner disk and a radially outer compression ring, the outer compression ring being reinforced to balance meridional and hoop stresses sustained by the bulkhead wall in response to a pressure differential across the pressure bulkhead; and the radially inner disk being unitary with the outer compression ring and being made of the same material as the outer compression ring.

    Abstract: An aircraft tail assembly includes an aft fuselage section secured to a forward fuselage section, and includes a stiffener-reinforced pivot bulkhead defined by separate parts secured together by a first set of splices. A longeron extends longitudinally along the aft and forward fuselage sections, and includes a discontinuity adjacent a peripheral edge of the pivot bulkhead. The aircraft tail assembly includes a second set of splices that overlie the discontinuity. One of the second set of splices extends laterally over the longeron to bridge the discontinuity adjacent the peripheral edge of the pivot bulkhead, and another of the second set of splices extends longitudinally along the longeron to secure the longeron to the pivot bulkhead adjacent the discontinuity. A chord engages the peripheral edge of the pivot bulkhead to facilitate transfers of force loads from the bulkhead along a load path that includes the longerons and the splices.

    Abstract: A pressure bulkhead for a vehicle disclosed. The pressure bulkhead is configured to separate a pressurized interior from an unpressurized interior of the vehicle. The pressure bulkhead includes a bulkhead wall having a radially inner disk and a radially outer compression ring. The radially inner disk has a surface and a first thickness and the radially outer compression ring having a second thickness that is greater than the first thickness. The radially outer compression ring defines a periphery of the bulkhead wall and the second thickness of the radially outer compression ring is effective to provide a strength to oppose meridional and hoop stresses across the surface of the radially inner disk in response to a pressure differential across the bulkhead wall. The pressure bulkhead also includes an attachment ring that is affixed to the periphery of the bulkhead wall.
