METHOD OF ASSEMBLING AIRCRAFT PARTS TO MAKE ASSEMBLY UNIT (VERSIONS), AIRCRAFT ASSEMBLY UNIT AND SET OF STRIPS Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B64F5/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aircraft engineering, particularly, to assembly of aircraft assembly units. Method of assembling aircraft assembly unit wherein first part first surface adjoins second part second surface. Said method differs from known methods in that, first, first and second parts are measured in separated state. Then, measurement results are used to calculate size and shape of the space to be formed between said first and second parts after assembly. Results of calculations allow selecting variable-thickness strip to be arranged between said first and second part in assembly. Note here that variation in aforesaid space is compensated by strip variable thickness. Measurements of said first part are made with said part secured at first jig and first part positions relative to reference point are measured at said first jig. Measurements of said second part are made with said part secured at second jig and second part positions relative to reference point are measured at said second jig.

EFFECT: higher accuracy and rate of assembly.
