The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a shell component for an aircraft or spacecraft. The method comprises a step of positioning a skin panel (102), which includes a skin (104) of the aircraft or spacecraft and first and second stringers (111,112) stiffening the skin, opposite a frame (106) having first and second mouseholes (121,122) for receiving the first and second stringers, a step of elastically bending the skin panelm (102), a step of inserting the first stringer (111) into the first mousehole (121), and a step of releasing the elastic bend to insert the second stringer (112) into the second mousehole (122). Under a further aspect, the invention provides an apparatus (200) for manufacturing a shell component for an aircraft or spacecraft, comprising a positioning unit (203) for positioning a skin panel (102), whic h includes a skin (104) of the aircraft or spacecraft and first and second stringers (111,112) stiffening the skin, opposite a frame (106) having first and second mouseholes (121,122) for receiving the first and second stringers (111,112), a bending unit (204) for elastically bending the skin panel (102), an inserting unit (202) for inserting the first stringer (111) into the first mousehole (121), and a control unit (208), which controls the bending unit (204) to release the elastic bend in order to insert the second stringer (112) into the second mousehole (122).
