Hey, that's supposed to be my sign, to use when miscreants cause too much trouble in the Uncertainty and Doubt section.

No, I thought you were bringing that... I brought the crackers and goat cheese.

No, I imagined the crates of beer would suffice...

Much of the build is too complex for robotic manufacture, or execution via remote device. The airplanes are still largely built by hand. Parts are indexed in tooling, clamped up, then drilled, removed, cleaned and deburred, inspected and then assembled.

Robotic and automated drilling and assembly has been implemented where it can be, and works well. It still requires human operators though, and they need to be present during the operations to intervene should the machines have any technical issues.

My father in law rebuilt at least one part of every F-18 model at one time or another as a machinist working at a Naval Air Rework facility, (NARF) and told me every time he had to re install a specific panel, the fit and drilled out parts for fasteners was different from plane to plane and never was the standard that you would expect from the factory if they are assembled on a line.

Been looking for goat cheese for a while.

We don't have any earthmuffins selling in the regional chains though that I can find.

No two are identical.

They are built to the nearest 0.001" of an inch.

The ones I work on have a wingspan 212'7", are 242'4" long, and 60'8" high. It takes tens of thousands of bolts and rivets to put a structure that big together. The riveting causes the structure to grow some, and a temperature change of ten degrees will make a big difference too. Finishing parts fitted after the structure is completed are often made to be fitted to each plane individually, at the time of installation.

So that 0.001" inch tolerance can add up.

Amazing machines.
