Zusammenfassung:An in-jig assembly bond fixture for manufacturing a composite component having a plurality of parts includes at least one fixture for holding each of the plurality of parts in proper alignment relative to one another during a bonding operation. A mechanical mechanism is provided integral with the at least one fixture for applying a predetermined uniform compressive force to each bond line between each of the plurality of parts during the bonding operation. A plurality of heating elements is provided for applying heat directly to each bond joint and are each selectively located within the fixture for applying heat uniformly across each bond line during the bonding operation.
