Simplification of the manufacture of composite material fuselages for aircraft, as well as mass reduction of fuselage sections and space optimization inside such fuselage sections. To accomplish this, it is proposed to use stringers of a new type which have a closed transverse section, and which are thus able to be self-positioned relative to one another by being positioned edge-to-edge on a stringer supporting structure, such as the outer surface of a mandrel. The installation of the stringers in grooves of conjugate shape is by this means made unnecessary. The stringers have cut-outs located between circumferential frames, and are able to house utility systems.
