A splice assembly for an aircraft airframe comprising: a first splice bracket comprising first longitudinal axis (Xa), a first connecting member, and a first mating member extending from said first connecting member along said first longitudinal axis (Xa), said first mating member comprising a first mating surface disposed as a non-zero first angle relative to said first longitudinal axis (Xa); a second splice bracket comprising second longitudinal axis (Xb), a second connecting member, and a second mating member extending from said second connecting member along said second longitudinal axis (Xb), said second mating member comprising a second mating surface disposed as a non-zero second angle relative to said second longitudinal axis (Xb), wherein said first mating surface and said second mating surface are complementary, and wherein surface contact between said first mating surface and said second mating surface defines a fastening location for connecting said first splice bracket and said second splice bracket; and a first stringer and a second stringer each having a "U"-shaped cross-section, wherein the first connecting member and the second connecting member each have a cross-sectional shape mating with the "U"-shaped cross-section at an end of the respective stringer (42a, 42b), wherein each stringer (42a, 42b) includes a pair of spaced apart and laterally opposed sidewalls defining a web, and a bottom surface extending between lower ends of the opposed sidewalls to define a channel, the bottom surface defining a foot of the stringer, and wherein the first connecting member and the second connecting member each include a pair of spaced apart and laterally opposed sidewalls (118, 120) fitting between and contacting the opposed sidewalls of the respective stringer (42a, 42b) such that at least a portion of the sidewalls (118, 120) is located within the channel. a first splice bracket comprising first longitudinal axis (Xa), a first connecting member, and a first mating member extending from said first connecting member along said first longitudinal axis (Xa), said first mating member comprising a first mating surface disposed as a non-zero first angle relative to said first longitudinal axis (Xa); a second splice bracket comprising second longitudinal axis (Xb), a second connecting member, and a second mating member extending from said second connecting member along said second longitudinal axis (Xb), said second mating member comprising a second mating surface disposed as a non-zero second angle relative to said second longitudinal axis (Xb), wherein said first mating surface and said second mating surface are complementary, and wherein surface contact between said first mating surface and said second mating surface defines a fastening location for connecting said first splice bracket and said second splice bracket; and wherein said first mating surface and said second mating surface are complementary, and wherein surface contact between said first mating surface and said second mating surface defines a fastening location for connecting said first splice bracket and said second splice bracket; and a first stringer and a second stringer each having a "U"-shaped cross-section, wherein the first connecting member and the second connecting member each have a cross-sectional shape mating with the "U"-shaped cross-section at an end of the respective stringer (42a, 42b), wherein each stringer (42a, 42b) includes a pair of spaced apart and laterally opposed sidewalls defining a web, and a bottom surface extending between lower ends of the opposed sidewalls to define a channel, the bottom surface defining a foot of the stringer, and wherein the first connecting member and the second connecting member each include a pair of spaced apart and laterally opposed sidewalls (118, 120) fitting between and contacting the opposed sidewalls of the respective stringer (42a, 42b) such that at least a portion of the sidewalls (118, 120) is located within the channel. wherein the first connecting member and the second connecting member each have a cross-sectional shape mating with the "U"-shaped cross-section at an end of the respective stringer (42a, 42b), wherein each stringer (42a, 42b) includes a pair of spaced apart and laterally opposed sidewalls defining a web, and a bottom surface extending between lower ends of the opposed sidewalls to define a channel, the bottom surface defining a foot of the stringer, and wherein the first connecting member and the second connecting member each include a pair of spaced apart and laterally opposed sidewalls (118, 120) fitting between and contacting the opposed sidewalls of the respective stringer (42a, 42b) such that at least a portion of the sidewalls (118, 120) is located within the channel.
