Zusammenfassung:An aircraft (100) with a fuselage (102), an airframe (122) that provides structural rigidity to the fuselage (102), and at least one door (116) that allows access to an interior of the fuselage (102) through an opening (124) in the fuselage (102). The aircraft (100) includes an overlapping, tongue and groove door interface (150) formed between a frame of the door and a portion of the airframe that at least partially borders the opening in the fuselage (102). At least a portion of the airframe includes a concavity (152). At least a portion of the door frame (134) includes a complementary shaped profile to the concavity (152) of the airframe (122). The complementary profile of the door frame (134) and the concavity (152) of the airframe (122) form a seal between the door frame (134) and the airframe (122) when the complementary portion is at least partially received within the concavity (152) by selectively rotating the door (116) to its closed position.
