4. A flexible fuselage manufacturing system that comprises:
a utility fixture affixed to a floor of a manufacturing environment and configured to provide a direct connection of power;
a drivable external mobile platform that comprises an external end effector configured to:
drill a hole through a first panel and a second panel of a fuselage assembly; and
place a fastener in the hole with an interference fit; and
an internal end effector configured to fasten the fastener within the hole and connected to a drivable internal mobile platform configured to:
move autonomously within an interior of the fuselage assembly; and
maintain in tension, a utility cable that connects the drivable internal mobile platform to the utility fixture through a drivable tower configured to:
transport the drivable internal mobile platform to the interior of the fuselage assembly; and
physically couple autonomously with the utility fixture and connect power from the utility fixture to the drivable tower;
the utility cable connected to the utility fixture through the drivable tower; and
a number of drivable cradle fixtures configured to:
support the fuselage assembly;
physically couple autonomously in series to the drivable tower; and
connect the power from the drivable tower to the number of drivable cradle fixtures in series.
