A creep forming tool modifies the shape of an aircraft component (4) in the form of a wing skin portion. The tool (1) includes a shaped surface (3) defined by removable rib boards (6). The component (4) is forced against the shaped surface (3), via a reusable intermediate plate (12). The shape of the shaped surface (3) may be adjusted, if necessary, by replacing the rib boards with boards (6) of a different shape.

L'invention concerne un outil de fluage permettant de modifier la forme d'un composant (4) d'aéronef afin que celui-ci adopte la forme d'une partie de revêtement de voilure. L'outil (1) présente une surface formée (3) définie par des plaques (6) à nervures amovibles. Le composant (4) est poussé contre la surface formée (3), par l'intermédiaire d'une plaque intermédiaire réutilisable (12). La forme de la surface formée (3) peut être ajustée, si nécessaire, par remplacement des plaques à nervures par des plaques (6) de forme différente.
