A method for manufacturing at least a portion of a box structure obtained from an outer skin and a plurality of sections each having a joining face in contact with the outer skin. The method comprises a step of positioning the sections on a mold, a step of obtaining a flat fiber preform having a thickness substantially equal to the outer skin, a step of placing a central portion of the fiber preform on the sections positioned on a first face of the mold and a step of forming a lateral extension of the fiber preform to press the fiber preform against a forming surface. A central wingbox obtained by the method is provided and a forming tool for carrying out the method.

Method for manufacturing at least one portion of a box structure of an aircraft comprising a forming step, and a central wingbox thus obtained

A method for reworking a composite laminate comprising a plurality of tapes, comprising the following steps: detecting the occurrence of a defect on a tape of composite material while the tape is being laid up; continuing the lay-up of the defective tape until a tape length is formed which surpasses a manufacturing length of the tape; catching the part of the defective tape that surpasses the manufacturing length of the tap; cutting the defective tape in the part of the defective tape that surpasses the manufacturing length of the tape; removing from the laminate the caught defective tape by the catching system, and laying-up a replacement tape in the place of the removed defective tape.

Method and system for reworking a composite laminate

The system has special application in the manufacture of aircraft wing covers (made of carbon fiber and the stringers () cured jointly with the wing cover during the polymerization in autoclave. The tool pieces () being used are defined by angular elements () copying the geometry of the stringers (). The shape of these stringers corresponds to the 'T' section. The angular elements () comprise, in their upper part, a pair of battlements () in order to be caught by part of the clamps () of a head () linked to a robot () of the spherical type with articulated arm with six axes. The angular elements () are made of INVAR material and they are used to keep in position the stringers during the curing cycle in the autoclave.
