A method for producing an aircraft structural component (10) comprises the steps of introducing a plurality of semi-finished product layers (12) for producing a component from a fibre-reinforced, thermoplastic plastic material into a compression mould (14), applying pressure to the stacked semi-finished product layers (12), the stacked semi-finished product layers (12) being fixed, before pressure is applied, at particular points in their position in the compression mould (12) and/or relative to one another in such a way that, while pressure is being applied to the semi-finished product layers (12) stacked in the compression mould (14), a sliding movement of the semi-finished product layers (12) relative to one another and/or relative to the compression mould (14), preventing wrinkling in the semi-finished product layers (12), takes place, and removing the aircraft structural component (10) from the compression mould (14).
