A circumferential skin joint according to the present disclosure may comprise a first composite fuselage member having a first composite skin comprising a first chamfer at least partially defining a first distal end of the first composite fuselage member, the first chamfer defining a first tapered mating surface extending circumferentially around an outer surface of the first composite fuselage member. In some examples, the circumferential skin joint further comprises a second composite fuselage member having a second composite skin, the second composite skin comprising a second chamfer at least partially defining a second distal end of the second composite fuselage member and defining a second tapered mating surface extending circumferentially around an inner surface of the second composite fuselage member. The first tapered mating surface contacts the second tapered mating surface to form a tapered lap joint between the first composite fuselage member and the second composite fuselage member.
