    摘要: A facility for simplifying the facilities and tools required to assemble a first aircraft fuselage section and a second aircraft fuselage section by the ends thereof, these sections being fragile, large elements. The facility includes a logistics trolley that can be moved on the floor and immobilized in a position to carry the first section, at least one adjustable support installed on the floor at another position that is adjustable with six degrees of freedom, to carry the second section. Each support can be commanded to adjust the position of the second section in relation to the first section, such as to position one end of the second section in geometric conformity with one end of the first section. This arrangement enables all movements to be made directly on the floor, obviating the need to provide lifting machines or overhead traveling cranes within the assembly facility.

    摘要: An assembly of a central aircraft fuselage section includes a longitudinal master wall for fixing of two aircraft air foil boxes. The method includes providing a trolley that can be moved on the ground, including a supporting structure in a station, supplying the station with the master wall, installing and mechanically immobilizing the master wall at a reference position on the supporting structure of the trolley, supplying the station with a transverse wall, installing and mechanically immobilizing this transverse wall at a reference position situated at a rectilinear edge upstream or downstream of the master wall, fixing the transverse wall to the master wall, and moving the trolley to another station.
