Abstract
A system for installing a self-supporting truss structure having interconnected truss elements on an aircraft fuselage. The truss structure has radially outer closed truss nodes and radially inner releasable connecting nodes. The installation system has a carrying device, movable on a fuselage floor and with an upper receptacle, a stand for temporarily holding truss elements in predetermined relative positions, and a movement device, on the upper receptacle, and holding the stand in a settable position relative to the support surface. The stand is further away from the support in installation positions than in a transport position. The installation system is configured, with the stand in the transport position, to move the carrying device into a predetermined internal fuselage position and to lock it there, to move the stand into a suitable installation position via the movement device, and to lock the at least one lockable connecting node via a drive.
