Claim 13:
14. A modular tooling kit configured to manufacture multi-spar torsion box, the modular tooling kit comprising:
a hollow beam mandrel module having a first base, a second base opposite to the first base, and side walls extending between the first and second bases; and
a plurality of spacer modules each configured to couple with the mandrel module and each of the spacer modules having a width common to a width of the mandrel module and a height differing from at least one of the other spacer modules;
wherein the mandrel module is stacked with a selected at least one of the spacer modules to form a modular tool stack having a height corresponding to one of a plurality of predefined web heights of the multi-spar torsion box,
wherein the modular tool stack and the hollow beam mandrel each have width substantially the same as the width common to the plurality of spacer modules, and
wherein the modular tool stack is configured to form a multi-spar torsion boxing having at least one web with a height corresponding to the predefined web height.
