A method and apparatus for building a fuselage assembly for an aircraft. A number of fixtures may be drive across a floor to an assembly area to form an assembly fixture. The fuselage assembly may be built on the assembly fixture.

Autonomous flexible manufacturing system for building a fuselage

An apparatus for accessing an interior of a fuselage assembly. A tower having a number of platform levels may be driven into a selected tower position within an assembly area. The interior of the fuselage assembly may be accessed using the number of platform levels.

Towers for accessing an interior of a fuselage assembly

A method and apparatus for adjusting an adjustable retaining structure. The adjustable retaining structure may be rotated, passively, about a spherical interface as a panel applies a load to the adjustable retaining structure.

Adjustable retaining structure for a cradle fixture

A method and apparatus for building an assembly fixture for holding a fuselage assembly. A number of cradle fixtures may be driven across a floor to an assembly area. The number of cradle fixtures may be configured to form the assembly fixture.

Method for building an assembly fixture for supporting a fuselage assembly

A method and apparatus for distributing a number of utilities. The number of utilities may be coupled between a number of utility sources and a utility fixture. The number of utilities may be coupled between the utility fixture and a mobile system.

Utility fixture for creating a distributed utility network

A method and apparatus for installing a fastener is provided. The apparatus comprises a plate system and an air system that is connected to the plate system. The plate system has a plurality of air passages and at least one opening. The air system directs air through the plurality of air passages, out of the opening, and in a selected direction substantially parallel to a surface of a structure into which a fastener is to be installed such that the air impinges on an exposed portion of a shaft of the fastener.

Limited access fastener installation method

A method and apparatus for accessing an interior of a fuselage assembly. A tower having a number of platform levels may be driven into a selected tower position within an assembly area. The interior of the fuselage assembly may be accessed using the number of platform levels.
