A sealing assembly is provided in an airframe of aircraft. The sealing assembly includes, but is not limited to a resilient and yet stiff enough bellows body that is attachable to the fuselage of the aircraft and is further attachable to a center wing box of the aircraft. The sealing assembly seals off a gap between the fuselage and the center wing box so as to allow maintaining pressure in the fuselage if the fuselage is pressurized. The bellows body is a composite and is designed to sustain exposure to tear and wear and exposure to a high and low temperatures as well as exposure to chemicals used during operation of the aircraft.
