  • Patent number: 12275202
    Abstract: A method for producing an aerodynamic element for an aircraft, including a wall which is covered, at least partially, by a printed film including a plurality of ribs and/or grooves, the method including: providing a raw film made of a deformable material which is devoid of grooves and ribs; providing a pressure plate which includes a face provided with ribs and/or grooves complementary to the ribs and/or grooves of the printed film; placing said raw film on the wall of the element; positioning the pressure plate on the raw film, the printed side of the pressure plate facing the raw film; and a forming step during which the raw film is bonded with the wall of the component and during which the raw film is shaped by cooperation with the pressure plate to obtain the printed film including the ribs and/or the grooves.

  • Patent number: 11435279
    Abstract: A method for analysing a bonding between two aeronautical parts. The method includes the steps of a) applying a release agent to a first surface to be bonded of a first part and to a second surface to be bonded of a second part, b) applying an adhesive to at least one of the first and second surfaces and positioning these surfaces on top of each other, the adhesive forming an adhesive film after polymerisation, c) separating the parts from each other and removing the adhesive film in one piece, d) analysing the adhesive film. The invention also relates to a method for bonding two aeronautical parts.
