ABSTRACT:
A "generic" jig is provided for assembling a wing box or, in other words, the major portion of a wing. The jig has an elongated base to which is attached one or more elongated strongback modules. The modules define the position of the wing box's lower spar. Modules may be interchanged as is directed by the particular wing box which is to be assembled. At one end of the jig's base is an inner stand-off module for defining the position of the wing box's root end, and at the other end of the base is an outer stand-off module for defining the position of the wing box's tip end. Both inner and outer stand-off modules are also interchangeable in accordance with the particular wing which is to be constructed.
