Appl. No.:

14/840845

Inventors:

- Chicago IL, US
Junghyun Ahn - Seattle WA, US
Derek Alderks - Mill Creeks WA, US
Todd William Erickson - Fife WA, US

Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Chicago IL

International Classification:

B23P 23/04
B21J 15/30
B23B 41/00
B21J 15/14

Abstract:

A system and method determine a size and a shape for identical geodesic modules that are used to form a structure. The system and method may include analyzing input data regarding a size and a shape of the structure to be formed, and determining the size and the shape for each of the identical geodesic modules based on the size and the shape of the structure to be formed. The structure may include a framework including the identical geodesic modules. Each of the geodesic modules has a size and a shape that are the same as all of the other of the geodesic modules. A forming system and method position a framework and a covering skin of the structure in relation to a mandrel, and drill and rivet the framework to the covering skin with a plurality of operating heads.
