METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING A FUSELAGE CELL OF AN AIRPLANE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the economic production of entire fuselage cells of airplanes and to a site for carrying out the method. Differing from the conventional sectional assembly according to the invention separate shells (shell components) are attached to a substantially completed cockpit section and/or rear section. At this both the half shell construction and the four shell construction as well as a combination hereof can be applied. Alternatively, the cockpit section and the rear section as well as the central wing box section can be aligned and positioned to each other in a site forming gaps in longitudinal direction. Subsequently, the shell components as well as the floor framework sections are adjusted circularly revolving between the sections and are ideally simultaneously connected to these by means of at least four cross-seams and a plurality of longitudinal seams. By the use of the method the tolerance compensation problem while joining pre-fabricated fuselage sections is avoided. Over and above the method allows for the production of a fuselage cell without a change of the site between the production steps using an accordingly equipped site whereby the production expenditure is decreased and the production accuracy is increased. Moreover the invention relates to a site for carrying out the different variants of the method.
