Abstract
A method for making a fuselage section comprises the steps of assembling a support system. The support system comprises fiber reinforced composite material and includes at least three frames and six stringers. The support system is partially cured via a fast cure process such that the support system attains about eighty percent of its fully cured strength. A skin comprising uncured fiber reinforced composite material is globally positioned such that an inner surface of the skin corresponds to an outer surface of the support system. The skin and the support system are fully cured together. The support system is assembled on a bonding tool having a bonding surface corresponding to an inner surface of the skin.
