Abstract: Methods and systems for assembling containerized aircraft as complete aircraft. The methods comprise removing aircraft components from shipping container(s), unloading the aircraft components from shipping fixture(s), removing tooling comprising aircraft component positioning structure(s) from the shipping container(s), loading aircraft component(s) onto aircraft component positioning structure(s), positioning the aircraft components in aircraft component installation positions, positioning the aircraft component(s) using the aircraft component positioning structure(s), and attaching the aircraft components to assemble the complete aircraft. The systems comprise aircraft components configured to be loaded into shipping container(s) in a shipping arrangement, unloaded from the shipping arrangement and attached to at least one other aircraft component to assemble the complete aircraft; shipping fixture(s) configured to support the aircraft components in the shipping arrangement, and tooling configured to facilitate assembly of the aircraft components and comprising aircraft component positioning structure(s) configured to position aircraft component(s) in aircraft component installation position(s).

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a composite barrel structure includes fabricating a first plurality of composite panels that are assemblable into a first partial composite barrel section. The fabricating includes assembling a first layup of composite material and, concurrently, assembling at least one additional layup. The fabricating further includes heating the first layup with the at least one additional layup. A system for fabricating a plurality of panels that are assemblable into partial barrel sections includes a first workstation for fabricating a first plurality of composite panels that are assemblable into a first partial composite barrel section. The first workstation includes a first assembly station configured to concurrently assemble a first layup of composite material and at least one additional layup and a first heating station configured to heat the first layup concurrently with the at least one additional layup to yield the first plurality of composite panels.

Abstract: A method and system for alleviating a load is provided. A support system is positioned at a nominal location with respect to an object. The support system comprises jacks and supports. Each of the supports is associated with one of the jacks. The object is positioned on the support system. The support system with the object is moved across a path. The height of each of the jacks is adjusted as the support system moves along the path to maintain a desired minimum load on each jack. Maintaining the desired minimum load prevents damage to the object.

Abstract: A system for damping machine-induced vibration in a workpiece includes a plurality of workpiece holders to hold the workpiece in a work cell. The system also includes a machine tool located in the work cell. The machine tool performs a machining operation on the workpiece while the workpiece is held by the plurality of workpiece holders. The system further includes a damping apparatus coupled to the workpiece. The damping apparatus controls machine-induced vibrations in the workpiece during the machining operation.

Abstract: A flay assembly for separating a workpiece from a manufacturing fixture has a horizontal beam assembly and a pair of vertical beam assemblies. The horizontal beam assembly includes a horizontal beam having a horizontal drive motor. Each vertical beam assembly includes a vertical beam operably engaged to the horizontal drive motor and has a workpiece attachment assembly operably engaged to a vertical drive motor. The workpiece attachment assembly has an attachment mechanism attachable to the workpiece. The horizontal drive motor and the vertical drive motors are operable in a manner to move the vertical beams away from each other along a horizontal drive axis while simultaneously moving each workpiece attachment assembly along a vertical drive axis to cause the attachment mechanisms to pull the workpiece side portions away from the manufacturing fixture while a center support of the horizontal beam maintains a workpiece crown in contact with the manufacturing fixture.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for demolding a composite part from a mandrel. The method includes mechanically coupling a first arm of an extraction tool to a first arcuate portion of a composite part that has been hardened onto a mandrel, mechanically coupling a second arm of an extraction tool to a second arcuate portion of the composite part, and separating the composite part from the mandrel by iteratively performing the following operations until the composite part no longer contacts the mandrel: elastically straining the first arcuate portion of the composite part via the first arm, and elastically straining the second arcuate portion of the composite part via the second arm.

Abstract: A system includes a mandrel contoured to define a tapering tubular shape of a workpiece cured on the mandrel and a demolding tool. The demolding tool is configured to remove the workpiece from the mandrel after the workpiece is cured on the mandrel and cut longitudinally. The demolding tool is configured to remove the workpiece from the mandrel by deforming a first end of the workpiece to at least partially disengage the first end of the workpiece from a first end of the mandrel, and subsequently, deforming a second end of the workpiece to at least partially disengage the second end of the workpiece from a second end of the mandrel. The first end of the workpiece may have a first cross-sectional area that is smaller than a second cross-sectional area of the second end of the workpiece.
