In order to improve the aircraft wing assembly tooling design efficiency and design quality

the association design technology is applied to the assembly frame of rapid design and configuration in this paper. Firstly

the structure characteristics of the aircraft wing and its corresponding assembly jigs are summarized

then the frame structure of reconfigurable flexible assembly jigs type and their modular parts

the associated design technology and its implementation method in the wing assembly jigs design are elaborated. The feasibility of the method was verified by a kind of assembly tooling for an aircraft vertical tail. Finally

a rapid design system of reconfigurable assembly tooling was developed based on CATIA and CAA technology

which can meet the requirement of the variant and modification of the aircraft products. As a result

the design of assembly jigs becomes simpler and faster

the product development cycle is shorter and the cost is lower.
