Hi Terence, This is a photograph I shot of the "Forward to Center" fuselage join on Dreamliner
ZA001. As you can see, there is a wide vertical band bolted over the actual join, then horizontal
doublers over the top of the vertical band. The white areas between the doublers is the actual
composite fuselage structure (skin). The two rectangular pieces glued to the fuselage skin at
the top left of the vertical band, are for harmonic vibration dampening from memory, and can
be seen in a few places on the inside of the composite fuselage.
