Abstract
A method of manufacturing an aerodynamic structure, for example, an aircraft wing tip, is disclosed. The method includes providing an upper cover having a plurality of lugs, providing a lower cover having a plurality of lugs, measuring the distance between a lug on the upper cover and corresponding lug on the lower cover, selecting, from the plurality of different sized links, a link suitably sized to correspond to the measured distance between the lug on the upper cover and corresponding lug on the lower cover, connecting the selected link to the lug on the upper cover and corresponding lug on the lower cover; and repeating those steps such that each lug on the upper cover is joined to a corresponding lug on the lower cover.
