Abstract

A method for integrating a backing-structure assembly in a structure of an aircraft or spacecraft is described. In this case, a plurality of individual elements is joined to form the backing-structure assembly. The individual elements for the backing-structure assembly and a skin portion for the structure are provided. The elements are arranged on a pre-assembly device which comprises retaining devices, which are each configured to hold one of the elements so as to be adjustable with respect to the position and/or location thereof. Some or all of the elements are connected to the skin portion. In the method, by adjusting the retaining devices for tolerance compensation, gaps between joint regions of the elements and the skin portion are eliminated or adjusted.
