Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods are provided for assembling a section of a fuselage (12) of an aircraft (10). The method includes pulsing a half barrel section (24) of the fuselage (12) along a track (110) in a process direction (199), utilizing an indexing feature (124) associated With the half barrel section (24) to determine a desired contour (361) for a portion of the half barrel section (24), and enforcing the desired contour (361) onto the half barrel section (24) using components that enforce an inner mold line (128) and components that enforce an outer mold line (126) When the contour of the half barrel section (24) is out of tolerance from the desired contour (361).
