Abstract
To reduce the footprint of an installation for assembling a fuselage section, a support structure includes a chassis and a core mounted so that it can rotate relative to the chassis about an axis of rotation of the core. The core includes a fastener(s) for holding the longitudinal fuselage portions around the core, with a view to assembling them to form the fuselage section. The support structure includes one or more rolling elements provided on the chassis, in order to allow the movement of this support structure within the installation.
