Abstract

Considering the latest introduction of the dry multiaxial fabrics into Aeronautical applications/programs (wing skins, Vertical Tail Plane [VTP] skins, winglets, bulkheads, cargo doors, etc.), together with the lack of automation for the preform creation and its deposition onto the corresponding molds, this paper will cover different potential solutions for the manufacturing of skins and stiffeners. In all cases, looking to the automated dry multiaxial fabric preform creation, lay-up and forming.
