NOVELTY - The method involves providing (1001) a first region of the composite shell element in which a resin of the composite shell element is cured to a first degree. A second region of the composite shell element is provided (1002) in which the resin of the composite shell element is cured (1003) to a second degree which is higher than the first degree, such that a flexibility of the first region is greater than a flexibility of the second region. The first region is included with a bending line along which the composite shell element is foldable.    USE - Method for producing composite shell element used for building wing and fuselage of aircraft, case of carrier rocket, module of space station or mast of wind power plant, and fuselage of transport vehicle (all claimed) such as train, car, truck, bus, helicopter, space vehicle, airship, or boat.    ADVANTAGE - Since the first region defines a bending line, the composite shell element can be deformed along the bending line during assembly of the large scale structure. Thus, tolerances in fabrication of the composite shell elements can be compensated for in a time-efficient manner without the need for applying a shimming process. The larger fuselage structures can be assembled, due to the reduced impact of tolerances arising during manufacturing of the composite shell elements. The method provides fast and flexible manufacturing solutions. The bending of the composite shell elements at major component assembly (MCA) level provides for a compensation of manufacturing intolerances and avoids costly post-treatment. The lead time for producing a fuselage comprising composite shell elements is reduced.
