Highly integrated infused box made of composite material with two skins (), several ribs (), several stringers (), a front spar and a rear spar, comprising a first semibox () and a second semibox () joined by connecting means, in which the first semibox () comprises one skin () and the ribs (), and the second semibox () comprises one skin (), the front spar, the rear spar and the stringers (). A manufacturing method is also provided, which comprises forming processes for the first semibox (), the second semibox () and an assembly process of the first semibox () with the second semibox ().

Highly integrated infused box made of composite material and method of manufacturing

The present invention relates to a jig for the manufacture, by means of injection and curing processes, of preforms of composite material frames for aircraft fuselages by using the RTM (resin transfer molding) technology. Two preforms are thus manufactured, one with a C shaped section and another with a L shaped section, together with the preforms of the stabilization ribs for stabilizing the web of the frames and the preform of the roving or staple fiber to cover the gap between the C shaped preform and the L shaped preform. Theses preforms are previously manufactured by any known process for manufacturing preforms. According to a second aspect, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing composite material load frames for aircraft.

Method of manufacturing aircraft frames in a composite material

The invention relates to a reinforcing frame () of the fuselage () of an aircraft, said fuselage () comprising a skin () and stringers (), the mentioned frame () comprising a structural member () and a closed, internally hollow honeycomb member (), the structural member () comprising a lower base () which is arranged on the inner face of the skin () of the fuselage (), and through which the stringers () connecting the frames () to the rest of the structure of the fuselage () pass, and upper reinforcing members () on which the mentioned honeycomb members () are arranged, such that the honeycomb members () increase the inertia and the stiffness of the frame () without adding weight thereto, the frame () having high stiffness in the transverse direction, in addition to being intrinsically stable to local buckling.
