Flexible Best Fit Assembly of Large Aircraft Components. Airbus A350 XWB Case Study

The need for assembly parts and structures where the perfect fitting is not guaranteed due to manufacturing/assembly tolerances and/or the influence of several physical effects, i.e. gravity, is increasing constantly in different industrial sectors and in particular in the aerospace industry.
