Abstract

A method of manufacturing a shell component for an aircraft or spacecraft includes positioning a skin panel, which includes a skin of the aircraft or spacecraft and first and second stringers stiffening the skin, opposite a frame having first and second mouseholes for receiving the first and second stringers, elastically bending the skin panel, inserting the first stringer into the first mousehole, and releasing the elastic bend to insert the second stringer into the second mousehole.
