    摘要: An airframe of a blended wing body aircraft with a non-cylindrical pressure vessel and methods of manufacture. The airframe includes a plurality of longitudinal stiffeners running substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the airframe and extending from a top side of the airframe to a bottom side of the airframe. The airframe includes at least a laterally outermost bulkhead configured to resist a cabin pressure. The airframe includes a skin comprising an outer mold line of the airframe that is configured to attach to the plurality of longitudinal stiffeners at the top side of the airframe and the bottom side of the airframe. In some embodiments, the airframe may include an aft pressure bulkhead.
