The panel assembly can include curved panel edge frames coupled with the outer skin and disposed on opposite lateral sides of the cargo opening in the outer skin. Upper and lower sill beams can be disposed on opposite upper and lower sides of the cargo opening in the outer skin. The upper and lower sill beams each can be coupled with the panel edge frames. The upper and lower sill beams can be coupled with curved aircraft frames that are disposed inside the fuselage of the aircraft to secure the outer skin to the aircraft at a panel opening in the fuselage of the aircraft.
