Abstract
A method and tool for repairing a damaged zone of an aircraft radome, using the actual radome itself as a heating chamber to avoid resorting to an autoclave and the removal of certain parts of the radome which cannot withstand the curing temperature needed for the repair. The method for repairing a radome, wherein the radome comprises a composite panel exhibiting a double curvature forming a dome, the panel comprising at least one damaged zone, comprises the steps of closing an interior space of the panel using a cap to form a repair chamber. The surface of the panel forms the repair chamber containing the damaged zone. Another step is heating the space inside the repair chamber to form a heating chamber allowing the curing expected for repairing the damaged zone.
