ASSEMBLY OF AIRCRAFT COMPONENTS

摘要

A method is provided for preparing a first part for assembly to form an aircraft component, by applying a shim to a first surface of the first-part, the method comprising the steps of placing the first surface of the part (4) adjacent to a second surface of a second part (6), inserting a solid shim (1) into a gap between the first and second surfaces and holding the shim in the inserted position, and subsequently introducing a liquid shim (7) through the first part (4) into a region between the first part (4) and the solid shim (1).
