German term or phrase: Fließbauweise
Ebenso ist es bekannt, Flugzeuge in Fließbauweise zu fertigen. In Anlehnung an den Automobilbau wird das Flugzeug kontinuierlich in Längsrichtung durch die einzelnen Bauplätze bewegt und dabei montiert.

Herkömmlicherweise werden Flugzeuge in getakteten Linien auf getrennten Bauplätzen gefertigt. Bei diesem Prinzip wird ein zu montierendes Flugzeug in Längsrichtung zwischen einer Vielzahl von Bauplätzen bewegt, in denen jeweils bestimmte Montage- bzw. Testschritte ausgeführt werden.
