A method for manufacturing a vessel configured for housing a fluid within, the method comprising: providing two Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) structures shaped with complementary coupling interfaces configured to match with each other, such that an interior volume is defined when the FRP structures are coupled to each other; coupling the FRP structures to each other such that the interior volume is defined; and fastening the FRP structures after they have been coupled to each other.

A method for manufacturing the trailing edge ribs and the bearing ribs of trailing edges of aircraft lifting surfaces, in which the trailing edge ribs and the bearing ribs are made by joining simple C-shaped parts and/or simple L-shaped parts so as to obtain the final trailing edge ribs and bearing ribs. The manufacturing of the simple C-shaped parts uses the same tooling both for the trailing edge ribs and the bearing ribs, and the manufacturing of the simple L-shaped parts uses the same tooling both for the trailing edge ribs and the bearing ribs.

A method for manufacturing, layer-upon-layer, an integral composite aeronautical structure, wherein the method comprises: (a) providing an additive manufacturing tool comprising a depositing mold shaping an aerodynamic surface and at least one head configured to be moved over the depositing mold and to deposit fibrous material reinforcement and/or meltable material; (b) depositing fibrous material reinforcement embedded within meltable material onto the depositing mold, at least one layer of a lower aerodynamic face-sheet being built thereby; (c) depositing meltable material onto at least a portion of the outer layer of the lower aerodynamic face-sheet, at least one layer of core structure being built thereby; and (d) depositing fibrous material reinforcement embedded within meltable material onto at least the outer layer of the core structure, at least one layer of an upper aerodynamic face-sheet being built thereby; wherein steps (b), (c) and (d) are performed using Additive Manufacturing technology.

A lifting device including: a movable discontinuity () located in a surface of the lifting device, the movable discontinuity () being movable between: an active position in which the movable discontinuity () acts as vortex generator, and a passive position in which the movable discontinuity () is integrated into the surface of the lifting surface, a conduit () located in the spanwise direction of the lifting surface and in communication with the movable discontinuity (), the lifting surface including openings () in its surface spanwise distant from each other in communication with the conduit (), the movable discontinuity () and the conduit () being configured such that when an airflow goes through the conduit (), this airflow activates the movable discontinuity () to act as a vortex generator of the lifting surface.

Lifting surface

A lifting surface comprising a movable discontinuity located in the surface of the lifting surface. The movable discontinuity is movable between an active position in which the movable discontinuity acts as vortex generator, and a passive position in which the movable discontinuity is integrated into the surface of the lifting surface without acting as vortex generator. The lifting surface may be in an elevator, the elevator being rotatable around a hinge line with respect to the rest of the lifting surface. A bar is rigidly joined to the elevator. The bar, the elevator and the movable discontinuity are configured such that when the elevator rotates with respect to the rest of the lifting surface, the bar moves the movable discontinuity that departs from the surface of the lifting surface, acting as a vortex generator.

A lightweight shield for aircraft protection against threat of high energy impacts, which comprises, a structural layer that has a first side and a second side, the first side being intended for receiving the impact, and a ballistic material layer for absorbing high energy impacts, having a first side and a second side. The first side of the ballistic material layer is faced to the second side of structural layer and joined to the structural layer via a progressively detachable interface and, the second side of the ballistic material layer is a free surface.

A leading edge for an airfoil comprising a torsion box, the leading edge comprising a leading plate and a first inflatable element suitable for being filled with air. The leading plate comprises a convex side and a concave side. The first inflatable element is in contact with at least part of the concave side, thus reinforcing the leading plate. An airfoil comprising such a leading edge is also provided.

A pressure bulkhead for an aircraft comprising a fuselage. The pressure bulkhead comprises an inflatable element, suitable for being filled with air, which in turn comprises a cover which delimits an inner zone. The pressure bulkhead further comprises a seal suitable for providing an airtight seal between the cover and the fuselage of the aircraft.
