Patent number: 11772821Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method of repairing an aircraft. The method comprises charging a thermal transfer blanket comprising a thermal energy storage media with thermal energy from a heat source. The method further comprises positioning a thermally curable patch on an exterior surface of an aircraft. The thermally curable patch comprises an uncured polymer having a first temperature. The thermal transfer blanket is applied to the thermally curable patch. Thermal energy is transferred between the thermal transfer blanket and the thermally curable patch to increase the first temperature of the uncured polymer to a cure temperature for a sufficient amount of time to cure the polymer.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Robert A DiChiara, Jr., Richard W.
