A method and apparatus for manufacturing wings is disclosed. The apparatus includes a fixture (42) that holds wing panels (30, 32) for drilling and edge trimming by accurate numerically controlled machine tools (40). The method includes attaching spars (34, 36) to the wing panels (30, 32) using coordination holes to locate the spars (34, 36) accurately on the wing panels (30, 32) in accordance with an original engineering design, and also attaching in-spar ribs (38) to rib posts (204) on the spars (34, 36) using accurately drilled coordination holes in the ends of the ribs (214) and in the rib posts (204). The method further includes determining the wing contour by the configuration of the spars (34, 36) and ribs (38).
