A device and method for joining and tacking several individual components independently of shape and/or size to form inherently rigid, transportable sections for transportation vehicles, such as an aircraft is disclosed. According to one embodiment of the invention, the individual components may be spatially positioned relative to each other independently of shape and/or size. The spatial positions of the individual components may be determined by a measuring device, such as a laser measuring device, and varied via several positioning devices until a preset spatial position of the individual components has been reached in which the individual component are tacked together to form a section. In another embodiment, the positioning devices may be designed as base positioners, a first lateral positioner, a second lateral positioner, an upper positioner as well as an inner positioner. Joining and tacking of several individual components 1 may form varying sections such as sections with varying cross sectional geometries and/or cross sectional dimensions and/or linear dimensions for different types of aircraft or for derivatives of the same aircraft types. In addition, the sections may have two working platforms on either side of the section.
A device for joining and tacking a plurality of individual components independently of shape, size or both shape and size to form inherently rigid, transportable sections for an aircraft fuselage, wherein the device comprises:
