An aircraft comprises a fuselage, a wing assembly, and a pinned fuselage-to-wing connection including a forward pin joint, an aft pin joint, and intermediate pin joints between the forward and aft pin joints. The intermediate pin joints have pins aligned in an axial direction and are configured to slide along the axial direction without transferring axial loads from the wing assembly to the fuselage. At least one of the forward and aft pin joints is constrained to prevent translation along the axial direction.

1. An aircraft comprising: a fuselage;a wing assembly; anda pinned fuselage-to-wing connection including a forward pin joint constrained for partial translation in an axial direction, an aft pin joint constrained to prevent translation in the axial direction, and a plurality of intermediate pin joints between the forward and aft pin joints;wherein the intermediate pin joints have pins aligned in a forward to aft direction along a longitudinal axis, and the intermediate pin joints are configured to slide along the axial direction without transferring axial loads from the wing assembly to the fuselage. 2. The aircraft of claim 1, wherein the pinned fuselage-to-wing connection transfers vertical, lateral and axial loads to the fuselage, without inducing rotational loads in the fuselage due to wing assembly bending. 3. The aircraft of claim 1, wherein the fuselage includes a plurality of frames; and wherein each intermediate pin joint is connected between one of the frames and a side of body rib of the wing assembly. 4. The aircraft of claim 3, wherein the forward pin joint is also connected to a front spar of the wing assembly, and the aft pin joint is also connected to a rear spar of the wing assembly. 5. The aircraft of claim 4, wherein pins of the forward and aft pin joints are aligned with the pins of the intermediate pin joints. 6. The aircraft of claim 1, wherein each intermediate pin joint includes a lug and clevis, wherein lug-to-clevis spacing determines an amount of translation in the axial direction. 7. The aircraft of claim 1, wherein the fuselage-to-wing connection further includes a shear plate connected between the fuselage and the wing assembly, the shear plate is formed from a carbon fiber reinforced plastic having material properties that provide flexibility for rotation about the axial direction and provide stiffness to transfer a load in the axial direction. 8. The aircraft of claim 7, wherein one side of the shear plate is clamped to a side of body rib of the wing assembly, and another side of the shear plate is coupled attached to frames of the fuselage. 9. The aircraft of claim 7, wherein the shear plate extends in the axial direction and spans the pin joints. 10. The aircraft of claim 1, wherein the forward, intermediate and aft pin joints are outboard of the fuselage. 11. A connection for a wing and a fuselage of an aircraft, the connection comprising: a forward pin joint constrained for partial translation in an axial direction;an aft pin joint constrained to prevent translation in the axial direction; anda plurality of intermediate pin joints between the forward and aft pin joints, the intermediate pin joints having pins aligned in a forward to aft direction along a longitudinal axis, and are configured to slide along the axial direction without transferring axial loads. 12. The connection of claim 11, wherein pins of the forward and aft pin joints are aligned with the pins of the intermediate pin joints. 13. The connection of claim 11, wherein each intermediate pin joint includes a lug and clevis, wherein lug-to-clevis spacing determines an amount of sliding in the axial direction. 14. The connection of claim 11, further comprising a shear plate configured to be connected between the fuselage and the wing, wherein the shear plate is formed from a carbon fiber reinforced plastic having material properties that provide flexibility for rotation about the axial direction and provide stiffness to transfer a load in the axial direction. 15. The connection of claim 14, wherein the shear plate extends in the axial direction and spans the pin joints. 16. A connection for a wing and a fuselage of an aircraft, the connection comprising: a forward pin joint, an aft pin joint, a plurality of intermediate pin joints between the wing and the fuselage, and a shear plate;all of the pin joints having pins aligned along a p-axis;each pin allowing the wing to bend without inducing rotational deflection to the fuselage at the connection;the aft pin joint constrained to prevent translation along the p-axis;the shear plate having material properties that provide flexibility for rotation about the p-axis and stiffness to transfer axial loads along the direction of the p-axis to the fuselage. 17. The connection of claim 16, wherein all of the pin joints are located between a wing upper surface and the fuselage. 18. An aircraft comprising: a fuselage;a wing assembly; anda pinned fuselage-to-wing connection including a forward pin joint, an aft pin joint and a plurality of pin joints between the wing assembly and the fuselage, wherein the forward pin joint, the aft pin joint and the plurality of pin joints are aligned in a forward to aft direction along a p axis allowing the wing assembly to bend without inducing rotational deflection to the fuselage at the pinned connection, and wherein the forward pin joint is constrained for partial translation along the p-axis and the aft pin joint is constrained to prevent translation along the p-axis.
