ABSTRACT:
A fixture for holding wing structures during heat bonding of their skins, the wing structures each including a base along the root thereof defined by a pair of elongated base flanges and an elongated slot extending into the root centrally between the base flanges. The fixture comprises an elongated, rigid member including an elongated surface portion curved at a predetermined radius which tapers from approximately the central area of the member to one end thereof toward the axis of the member to induce a distortion in the wing structure sufficient to compensate for thermally induced dimensional changes in the wing structure after removal from the fixture. The fixture also includes an elongated key flange radially extending from the curved surface portion for cooperating with a slot in the base of the wing structure to align the wing structure with the longitudinal axis of the member and screws for securing the base flanges of the wing structure to the curved surface on opposite sides of the key.
