Abstract:
An assembly including a support tower and at least two support systems, each bearing a panel of a section of an aircraft fuselage and including four fixing points. The support tower includes a tower extending along an axis X, a seat on which the tower is mounted and which is rotationally mobile about the axis X, and, for each fixing point, a fixing base mounted on a three-dimensional adjustment system mounted on the tower and motorized to displace the fixing base in two horizontal directions and one vertical direction, where each fixing point and the associated fixing base can be locked with one another to ensure the fixing of one with the other, and that can be unlocked to allow them to be separated. Such an assembly makes it possible to keep the various elements of the section vertical during assembly and allows for a space saving on the ground and a saving on transfer utilities.
