The invention discloses a trailing edge () of an aircraft aerodynamic surface, which comprises an upper skin () and a lower skin (), being the upper and lower skins () made of composite material. In the trailing edge () a lightweight part () is assembled at an end section () of the upper and lower skins (). The lightweight part () is covered by a metallic sheet (), and has a 'V'-shaped cross section with arms and peak, where the peak of the 'V'-shaped cross section has a rounded shape and is located opposite the end section () of the upper and lower skins ().

Trailing edge of an aircraft aerodynamic surface

A repair process for a composite material panel that forms part of a fuselage, wings, or stabilizers of an aircraft, with the panel having large dimensions and including irregular contours in some areas and edges prone to damages occurring from handling and assembly of the panel. The process a) locates the damage in the element of the composite material panel; b) sands the area that includes the damage in an area larger than the damage, makes a cut in the panel, having the cut of a same form as a piece that will serve to repair panel; c) places the piece in the cut, so that it is perfectly flush with the panel to be repaired; and d) attaches the piece to the composite material panel.
