A method for repairing damage to the coating of an aircraft fuselage, the coating being made of fiber-reinforced composite material. This method comprising making a cut-out in the fuselage with a substantially parallelepipedal outline around the damage and drilling a circular hole substantially centered on the intersection of the sides of the outline of the parallelepiped of the cut-out at each of the corners of the outline before the cutting out operation.

Method for repairing an aircraft fuselage

A process for cutting out a damaged area of an aircraft fuselage, in particular so as to repair the damaged area, includes in making at least one cut-out in the fuselage () so as to delimit a cut-out area () that encompasses the damaged area and that includes at least one flare-out, characterized in that it includes making a hole () at the flare-out of the cut-out area () with a tool whose diameter corresponds to that of the desired flare-out.

A block including at least one glass ply at least partially covering an outer surface of a core made from composite material. A method for reinforcing a block made from a composite material, including a glass ply placed in a mold, such as to cover the base of the mold; the block is positioned in the mold; the edges of the glass ply are folded such that the glass ply is molded to the outer edge of the block; the mold is closed with a cover; the block housed inside the mold is cured in an oven such as to polymerize the glass ply; and the glass-ply-covered block is recovered.
