Abstract
A slip joint tooling fixture for providing unrestricted growth of material used in an airframe structure when heated under high temperatures. The fixture while allowing the unrestricted growth of the material also maintains the overall configuration and integrity of the structure being built. The fixture further provides for minimum restriction of airflow around the outer surface of the structure during the heating up and cooling down process.
