METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF AIRFRAME FLOOR GRIDS

Systems and methods are provided for assembling an aircraft (10). One such method includes receiving a lower half barrel section (118) of fuselage (12) that is inverted to a keel-up orientation (563-3); and installing a floor grid (365) into the lower half barrel section (118) while inverted. One su...

Zusammenfassung:	Systems and methods are provided for assembling an aircraft (10). One such method includes receiving a lower half barrel section (118) of fuselage (12) that is inverted to a keel-up orientation (563-3); and installing a floor grid (365) into the lower half barrel section (118) while inverted. One such system (500) comprises a plurality of work stations that install floor grid components onto a floor grid (365), a track (541) that advances the floor grid (365) in a process direction (199) through the work stations, and at least one feeder line associated with one of the work stations, the feeder line operable to provide a floor grid component to the work station just in time for installation onto the floor grid (365).
