A shear connection for interchangeably connecting two airframe parts of an aircraft. The shear connection may include first and second interface parts. The second interface part may overlap in the longitudinal direction at an overlap section with at least one of the first interface part and the first airframe part. The shear connection may further comprise means that rigidly and non-interchangeably attach the first interface part to the first airframe part and the second interface part to the second airframe part and a shear bolt that rigidly and interchangeably connects the second interface part with the at least one of the first interface part and the first airframe part at the overlap section, thereby interchangeably connecting the first and second airframe parts.
