Abstract: A fuselage cradle support assembly, which can be used as part of a jacking system during aircraft manufacture, is described. The fuselage cradle support assembly can include an array of fuselage cradles. The fuselage cradle support assembly can be configured to limit motion of each fuselage cradle in a cradle array to only vertical and horizontal movements. The vertical movements can be generated using actuators, such as hydraulic actuators, which are communicatively coupled to one another to distribute loads within the cradle array.
