Abstract
To simplify the structure of a holding fixture which holds the shape of the aircraft panel and conveys the aircraft panel, an object is to ensure shape accuracy required in the manufacturing process and hold an aircraft panel in an appropriate shape, in combination with a holding fixture. A shape holding fixture includes: a plurality of support units configured to be positioned on a lower surface side of an aircraft panel, and provided at intervals along a one-axis direction, the aircraft panel being held by a holding fixture configured to grip an edge portion of the aircraft panel; and a shape holding unit provided to each of the plurality of support units, including a rod which supports the aircraft panel from the lower surface side of the aircraft panel, and configured to adjust a position where the rod comes into contact with the aircraft panel to support the aircraft panel, corresponding to the shape of the aircraft panel.
