An airframe handling apparatus is operable to support and move a partially assembled aircraft fuselage. The aircraft fuselage is incomplete, lacking a wing and landing gear. The apparatus is attachable to the aircraft fuselage in place of the wing and landing gear, utilizing wing attachment structures on the aircraft fuselage that are designed for flight loads. With the aircraft fuselage attached to the apparatus, the entire fuselage is supported on the apparatus that can be operated to move and manipulate the aircraft fuselage as if the wing and landing gear were present. With the apparatus attached to the aircraft fuselage, movement of the fuselage by the apparatus imparts no handling-induced internal loads on the aircraft fuselage, and maximizes unobstructed access to the exterior surface of the fuselage for painting and other surface preparations.
Un appareil de manutention de cellule est exploitable pour soutenir et déplacer un fuselage daéronef partiellement assemblé. Le fuselage daéronef est incomplet; il manque une aile et un train d'atterrissage. Lappareil peut être attaché au fuselage daéronef à la place de laile et du train d'atterrissage au moyen des mêmes structures de fixation daile sur le fuselage conçues pour les charges en vol. Lorsque le fuselage est attaché à lappareil, tout le fuselage est soutenu sur lappareil pouvant être exploité pour déplacer et manipuler le fuselage, comme si laile et le train d'atterrissage étaient présents. Lorsque lappareil est attaché au fuselage, le mouvement du fuselage par lappareil nexerce pas de charges internes produites par la manutention sur le fuselage et maximise laccès sans obstacle à la surface extérieure du fuselage aux fins de peinture et dautres préparations de surface.
