- Designing and producing a durable commercial airplane requires balancing good detail design and good manufacturing processes. Wings are fatigue sensitive structures and Boeing Commercial Airplanes Group (BCAG) relies on fatigue rated machine riveting for joining the skin to the stringer structure. This paper discusses how BCAG qualified the hand held low voltage electromagnetic riveting (HHLVEMR) process. Use of this process results in reduced fabrication flow time and fewer ergonomic type injuries, while maintaining the design requirements.
