Abstract: Reinforcing textile sheets (10, 11, 12, 16, 17) are superposed on mandrels (9, 14 and 15). The reinforcing textile sheets superposed on the mandrels are placed in a closed jig (2, 3). A thermosetting resin is introduced into the closed jig to impregnate the superposed reinforcing textile sheets. The thermosetting resin impregnated into the superposed reinforcing textile sheets is made to half-set in the closed jig to form a half-set composite material wing component member including a rear spar, ribs, an upper skin and a lower skin. The half-set composite material wing component member is taken out of the jig and the mandrel is removed from the half-set composite material wing component member. The half-set composite material wing component member and a half-set front spar are bonded together with an adhesive to form a half-set wing structure. The half-set wing structure is subjected to a high-temperature setting process to set the wing structure and the adhesive simultaneously.

Abstract: A box-shaped fibrous preform is produced by laying or superposing a plurality of reinforcing fibrous material layers (6a) on top of each other into a box-like shape. The box-shaped fibrous preform is used as an auxiliary member (1) or by cutting the box-like member into segments of a required shape. The auxiliary member (1) is combined with reinforcing fibrous material forming a main structural member. The auxiliary member and the main structural member are placed in a mold and a resin is supplied into the mold to carry out a resin-impregnating and curing operation.
