Patent number: 9573298Abstract: A method of manufacturing a composite element. A stack of plies is assembled on a lay-up table, each ply comprising a plurality of reinforcement elements such as dry-fibers. A first part of the stack of plies is bound to form a partially bound stack of plies, a second part of the stack of plies remaining unbound. The partially bound stack of plies is press-formed in a mold cavity between a pair of mold tools to form a shaped pre-form, plies in the second part of the stack sliding against each other during the press-forming. A liquid matrix material is injected into the shaped pre-form in the mold cavity and subsequently cured.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2014Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: AIRBUS OPERATIONS LIMITEDInventors: Simon W Topping, Martin Edwards, Risto Kallinen, Nils Haack

Patent number: 6386481Abstract: An arrangement for fastening stringers of an aircraft wing to a transverse wing rib in the wing. An elongated fastening element is arranged to the side of the wing rib comprising a plate-like flexible portion close to the wing rib, and the first longitudinal edge of the flexible portion is fastened to the side of the wing rib and the second free longitudinal edge comprises a stiffening portion. The ends of the stiffening portion also comprise fastening portions, from where the fastening element is fastened to the stringers. The flexible portion in the fastening element is formed to be flexible in the longitudinal direction of the wing rib, and by bending the flexible portion in the longitudinal direction of the wing rib the stiffening portion can if necessary be transferred during the assembly of the wing. The stiffening portion is in turn dimensioned to carry vertical loads.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2001Date of Patent: May 14, 2002Assignee: Patria Finavicomp OyInventor: Risto Kallinen
