Abstract: Process for assembly of a flexible panel on an open structure, and installation to make use of this process. According to the invention, a flexible panel (12) is attached to an open structure (10) by pre-assembling these two parts by cold gluing before they are fixed using attachment devices such as rivets. Cold gluing is done using a gluing cap (48) on the inside of which linear and individual inflatable joints (54, 56) are fitted to press the panel (12) into contact with the framework (10) in unperforated parts of the framework. The time necessary for assembly is thus very much reduced, while the quality of part positioning is unaffected.
