A transverse splicing plate for producing a fuselage of an aircraft by connecting several CFP fuselage sections that have in particular been produced in the winding method, in each case by forming a transverse seam, wherein the flexible transverse splicing plate is of a multilayer construction, in other words it comprises a multitude of plate segments arranged one above the other, wherein each of the plate segments comprises a multitude of longitudinal slits, each being able independently of each other to make small radial bending movements in order to cause tolerance compensation in radial direction between the fuselage sections to be joined, in which tolerance compensation a sliding movement between the sub-plates of the plate segments arranged one above the other takes place in axial direction of the barrel-shaped fuselage sections, and wherein on the inside the ends of the fuselage sections comprise chamfers; as well as a method for producing a connection between two CFP fuselage sections, which have preferably been produced in the winding method, by means of a transverse splicing plate according to the invention.
