Abstract

An apparatus is provided for an aircraft which includes an aircraft component. The aircraft component includes a first plate section, a second plate section and an elastic expansion section laterally between the first plate section and the second plate section. The elastic expansion section is configured to elastically deform to increase a lateral width between the first plate section and the second plate section. The aircraft component is formed from at least an elastomeric matrix and a fiber layer at least partially embedded within the elastomeric matrix. A bead is formed in the fiber layer laterally between a first portion of the fiber layer and a second portion of the fiber layer. The first portion of the fiber layer is disposed in the first plate section. The second portion of the fiber layer is disposed in the second plate section. The bead is disposed in the elastic expansion section.
