ABSTRACT:
A wing positioner apparatus for installing and removing an aircraft wing includes a wheeled base having a pair of vertically extending telescoping posts attached thereto. A wing support arm is hinged to each vertically extending telescoping post. A winch couples one wing support arm to one of the vertically extending posts for raising and lowering the wing support arm. A telescoping post winch is attached to the wheeled base for raising both vertically extending telescoping posts simultaneously. This allows an aircraft wing to be supported between the pair of wing support arms and the pair of vertically extending telescoping posts while being moved on the wheeled base and positioned for installation or removal from an aircraft fuselage.
