PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for assembling an aircraft structure assembly without use of any shimming, locating fixtures, or final-hole-size drill jigs.SOLUTION: The method includes supporting first and second frame sections (302, 304) on respective adjustable supports (310), and positioning the interconnecting frame section (306) therebetween. The method includes aligning first pre-drilled mating holes (316) in the interconnecting frame section with first pre-drilled mating holes (314) in the first and second frame sections (302, 304), and installing fasteners (318) though the aligned, first pre-drilled mating holes. The method includes positioning a structural mating section (308) relative to the first and second frame sections and the interconnecting frame section and aligning second pre-drilled mating holes (320) in the structural mating section with second pre-drilled mating holes (322, 324), and installing fasteners (326) through the aligned, second pre-drilled mating holes to secure the structural mating section.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 |
