Fuselage Stations
When referring to stations, many airplane manufacturers will use the term Fuselage Stations
(FS). Figure 3 is an example of using Fuselage Stations.

Wing Stations
Another form of station is the Wing Station (WS). Wing stations typically reference the vertical
centerline of the airplane as the datum and extend along the span of the wings. Prominent
structures like ribs are often named according to their WS location. Wing Stations, if used by the
airplane manufacturer, replace Butt lines when referencing wing locations. Figure 4 is an
example of using Wing Stations.
