  • Patent number: 8919696
    Abstract: A method for stiffening a skin field of an aircraft fuselage includes providing a skin field for an aircraft fuselage, manufacturing an integral lattice-shaped stiffening structure including a plurality of longitudinal stiffeners and connecting the stiffening structure to the skin field. The manufacturing can include the use of a tool mold having a plurality of longitudinal recesses configured to form longitudinal stiffeners and a plurality of sunken areas disposed between the longitudinal recess. The sunken areas are configured for forming respective mounts that are configured for connection to circumferential stiffeners.

  • Patent number: 8845946
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a fiber composite component having an integral structural design includes positioning a sheet-like fibrous semi-finished product in a mold that defines an outer contour of the fiber composite component. Dimensionally stable fibrous semi-finished products, each having dimensions corresponding to a respective portion of the manufactured fiber composite component, are arranged on the sheet-like fibrous semi-finished product. The dimensionally stable fibrous semi-finished products are stabilized and fixed in place using mold cores. The semi-finished products are resin infiltrated using one of a first or a second gating process so as to form a construct. The first gating process includes gating via the mold cores at a head of each dimensionally stable fibrous semi-finished product and performing extraction in an area of the mold.
