Fuselage of a Boeing 737 shown in brown

Noun

fuselage (plural fuselages)

• (aeronautics) The main body of an aerospace vehicle; the long central structure of an aircraft to which the wings (or rotors), tail, and engines are attached, and which accommodates crew and cargo. [from 1909]
  • ✤ Federal officials examining the horrifying midflight blowout of part of an Alaska Airlines aircraft’s fuselage are testing the detached piece for clues on what led up to the plane’s “explosive decompression” after the missing piece was discovered in an Oregon backyard.¹
  • ✤ Wichita, Kansas-based Spirit AeroSystems makes major parts of several Boeing models, including the fuselages for the 737 Max.²

Etymology

Borrowed from French fuselage. Ultimately from Latin fūsus (“spindle, spinning wheel”).

For the meaning development, compare rocket, ultimately from Proto-Germanic ﹡rukkô (“spinning wheel, distaff”) (whence also English rock (“distaff, the flax or wool on a distaff”)).

Pronunciation

• IPA: /ˈfjuːzəˌlɑːʒ/, /ˈfjuːsəˌlɑːʒ/
