A device and a process for manufacturing a composite part, the device comprising four molding mandrels that can be arranged in a mold arrangement in which they form a mold for the composite part, as well as a locking mandrel configured to lock the molding mandrels in the mold arrangement and to be extracted from between the molding mandrels to release the molding mandrels from their mold arrangement. The locking mandrel extends from one longitudinal end of the molding mandrels to another opposite longitudinal end of the molding mandrels.

Device comprising multiple longitudinal mandrels forming a mold for manufacturing a composite part

A composite structure, including a laminate that includes a set of plies, the laminate extending between a first edge and a second edge and including a rising ramp and a falling ramp. The rising ramp includes a starting point and an upper point and the falling ramp includes the upper point and an end point. Plies are partially located over their preceding ply and alternatively extend from the first edge or the second edge and are shorter than the ply located before the preceding ply so that their ends are stepped successively until they reach the top of the ramp.

Composite structure and manufacturing method

A trailing edge for a composite multispar integrated lifting surface includes a first C-shape composite form that includes a web and two flanges. The web forming a portion of the rear spar of a torsion box. The two flanges extending along a skin chordwise direction. A second C-shape composite form includes a web and two flanges. The web forms an auxiliary spar. The flanges extend along the skin chordwise direction. The first C-shape composite form and the second C-shape composite form forming a first auxiliary cell and a second cell. The first auxiliary cell is delimited by the first C-shape composite form and the second C-shape composite form. The second cell is an open cell delimited by the second C-shape composite form.

Trailing edge for a composite multispar integrated lifting surface and method for manufacturing said trailing edge

A composite material part and method for manufacturing the part. The part has a large variation in thickness between a first zone having a thickness Eand a second zone having a thickness E, which is made as a single part with a transition zone, external surfaces of which have gradients of magnitude, in which the structure of the stack includes; b1) a plurality of continuous plies that extend in the three zones; b2) a plurality of plies that extend in the first zone and in the transition zone, terminating in a stepped manner in the transition zone; b3) a plurality of plies that extend in the first zone and in the transition zone, terminating in a stepped manner in the transition zone.

Composite material part with large variation in thickness

It is intended for installing and fitting, in conjunction with other iron fittings, a fairing on an aircraft in correspondence with a housing located at the junction of a stabilizer and a fuselage of an aircraft structure. Wherein each iron fitting comprises:

Adjustable iron fitting for the installation and fitting of aircraft fairing

A part of composite material having a wedge between two zones, the second zone being shorter than the first zone, whose structure includes from its outer surface to its inner surface: a first section formed from at least two continuous sheets extending parallel to its outer surface, the gradient of the wedge being between 20% and 50%; a wedge in the shape of a triangular prism with its larger surface dimensioned in such a way that it forms a wedge having a gradient of less than 20%; a second section formed by a plurality of continuous sheets extending parallel to the surface bounded by the first section with the wedge placed upon it. The invention also relates to a process for manufacture of the part.

Part of composite material having a wedge between two zones

A fairing system for a horizontal stabilizer of an aircraft and to a process for installing said system, such that the fairing system for the sealing of the horizontal stabilizer and the fuselage of the aircraft includes a primary fairing arranged on the horizontal stabilizer of the aircraft, the primary fairing being solidly connected to the horizontal stabilizer which is in turn trimmable with respect to the fuselage, the fairing system in turn comprising a secondary fairing such that the primary fairing is coupled to the horizontal stabilizer through supports arranged in the direction of the chord of the primary fairing, said supports being located in the outer part of said primary fairing with respect to the fuselage, the secondary fairing being arranged in the outer part of the supports.
