Abstract: A process for the production of a part made of composite material including at least one radius of curvature, includes a stage for deposition of pre-impregnated fiber layers (24) on a device (22) of convex shape on one another and for compacting the layers, characterized in that localized and repeated forces are applied in such a way as to cover the zone of the radius of curvature, at a given instant the forces being applied on a zone that is less than half of the zone of the radius of curvature, so as to compact the fiber layers (24) locally during the deposition stage.

Abstract: A device for the production of a part of an aircraft made of composite material of which one surface is able to be in contact with aerodynamic flows includes a male mold, and at least two smoothing panels (12) that can exert pressure on the piece to be produced during a polymerization phase during which a contraction phenomenon appears. At least one of the two smoothing panels (12.1, 12.2) includes a smooth edge with a beveled shape against which at least one surface of the other smoothing panel can slide to compensate for the contraction phenomenon.

Abstract: A device for producing a composite material part designed to be in contact with aerodynamic flows, in particular a portion of the fuselage, whereby the device includes at least one mold (32), elements (34, 36, 38) for compressing the part that is to be produced, as well as a system for drainage of the gases emanating from the part that is to be produced that includes at least one plate (42), characterized in that the at least one plate (42) includes a number of openings (44) whose shapes and/or arrangement limit the degradation of the aerodynamic characteristics of the part that is to be produced.
