The invention relates to an autonomous flexible manufacturing system for building a fuselage and a method and a device for manufacturing a fuselage assembly (114) of an airplane. Several clamps (313)can be driven to an assembly area (304) across a floor (130) to form an assembly clamp (324). The fuselage assembly (114) can be manufactured on an assembly clamp (324). 本发明涉及用于建造机身的自主柔性制造系统以及用于建造飞机(104)的机身组件(114)的方法和设备。可横跨地板(130)将若干夹具(313)驱动到组装区域(304)以形成组件夹具(324)。可在所述组件夹具(324)上建造所述机身组件(114)。
