Modification

One more advantage in addition to the light-weight MERO structure is the easy way of customizability and modifiability.

For example:  A customer changes some of aircraft types of his fleet. The existing structure, flaps,
sliding panels and other elements – which were designed for other Aircraft types - can be easily adapted to the new circumstances.
