Method of manufacturing of components used in the field of aviation aircraft and, specifically, an aircraft engine nacelle lipskin. Instead of spinning flat plates, this method uses spinning a cylinder, thus eliminating waste material. It also eliminates the need for rivet lines which results in better laminar flow. Further, there is a reduction of other costs in addition to reducing drag.
