English–Chinese reference · Aerospace & UAV

Fuselage机身

The fuselage is the central airframe structure that houses the crew, passengers, cargo, or mission equipment and connects the wings, empennage, and landing gear; it is often divided into nose, center, and aft sections for structural reference. In aerospace documentation, it appears in general arrangement drawings, structural repair manuals, weight-and-balance records, and payload bay descriptions where the main body and its station or frame positions are defined.

Where this term appears

In localization, fuselage appears in general arrangement drawings, structural repair manuals, illustrated parts catalogs, weight-and-balance documents, and mission payload descriptions. Translators must understand that 'fuselage station' is a position reference, not a physical station, and keep terms such as airframe, empennage, and nacelle clearly separated.

Translation checks

A common mistake is reducing fuselage to 'shell' or 'body shell,' which obscures its role as the primary load-bearing structure. Another error is translating 'fuselage-mounted' word for word into awkward Chinese or confusing the fuselage with a nacelle or pod, leading to incorrect location descriptions in maintenance steps.

Keep the term aligned across your files

Check procedure sequence, part names, limits and cautions against the supplied references. Applicable aviation or market requirements depend on the product and project pathway.

Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
