Abstract

A new and improved system for interconnecting components in a vehicle body structure, and especially for interconnecting fiber-reinforced composite components in a fuselage structure of an aircraft. The system includes: a first adapter member having a first mating portion that is adhesively bonded with a profile of a first component of the structure in more than one plane, and a first attachment portion connected to the first mating portion; a second adapter member having a second mating portion that is adhesively bonded with a profile of a second component of the structure in more than one plane, and a second attachment portion connected to the second mating portion; and a connector member to securely interconnect the first and second attachment portions of the first and second adapter members.
