Assembly system for an automated internal assembly of an aircraft fuselage

An assembly system for an automated internal assembly on a

• curved assembly surface of an aircraft fuselage, comprising:
• two assembly rails, which are shaped in accordance with a curvature of the assembly surface of the aircraft fuselage such that the two assembly rails follow a longitudinal direction of the aircraft fuselage or a peripheral direction of the aircraft fuselage, so that the assembly rails are fastenable in the aircraft fuselage, along the longitudinal direction of the aircraft fuselage or along the peripheral direction of the aircraft fuselage, parallel to one another and parallel to the assembly surface of the aircraft fuselage;
• a plurality of rigid connecting elements holding the two assembly rails and configured to be coupled to stiffening elements of the aircraft fuselage;
• an assembly slide configured to slide along the assembly rails;
• and
• a tool supported by the assembly slide and configured to perform an assembly step;
• wherein the assembly slide has at least one assembly axis, along which the tool is configured such that the tool is movable relative to the assembly slide;
• wherein the assembly axis is configured such that the assembly axis follows the curvature of the assembly surface of the aircraft fuselage, and
• wherein the two assembly rails comprise a plurality of rail segments configured to correspond geometrically to predefined fuselage portions, and
• wherein the two assembly rails are configured to be fastened to stiffening elements of the aircraft fuselage via assembly bores of the stiffening elements.
