A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING WING STRUCTURES.

摘要

The inner structure (20) of a wing is first fixed on the top surface (11) of the bottom panel (10). The inner structure and the top panel (12) are retained separately in the respective forms which they must assume in accordance with a predetermined wing profile. The top surface (21) of the inner structure (20) and the bottom surface (14) of the top panel (12) are scanned. The three-dimensional digital images of the scanned surfaces are processed, so as to generate a three-dimensional mathematical model representing the distances between the scanned surfaces. On the basis of the mathematical model one or more inserts (70) with a variable thickness corresponding to the distances between the scanned surfaces are manufactured. The inserts are then arranged between these surfaces and finally the top panel (12) is fixed to the structure (20), thus obtaining the predetermined wing profile.
