Abstract
A method of manufacturing aircraft includes constructing a definition of the aircraft in a computer memory and then defining in the memory a first tool for forming a component part of the aircraft and a second tool for assembling a component part made with the first tool. The definitions of the first and second tools are downloaded to a tool forming device which is operated to form the first and second tools essentially independent from one another.
