Abstract: A key tool is provided that includes at least two keys having adjacent edges, the tool being substantially cylindrical in shape with a central axis, the adjacent edges being substantially parallel to the central axis. The adjacent edges have covers that are tangential relative to the inner and/or outer portions of the key tool. An application of the key tool is in the production of composite panels, in particular for an aircraft engine nacelle.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a set of tools for producing a composite part with a circumference higher than 180° having at least one convex surface which cannot be stripped. The set of tools includes at least one core and a plurality of keys. One of the keys includes supporting and holding walls, and a lateral wall. The supporting wall has a shape substantially similar to the shape of a working wall of the core, and the holding wall supports at least in part a first skin of the composite part to be produced. Furthermore, the lateral wall includes a holder to maintain together at least two adjacent keys, and the holder allows a circumferential clearance between adjacent lateral walls of the two adjacent keys.
