  • Thermoplastic composite panel systems and methods
    Patent number: 11926110
    Abstract: A method for forming a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic control surface includes forming first and second skins from a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin. The method further includes overmolding fiber-reinforced thermoplastic features onto the first skin and/or second skin, including stiffener structures, sidewalls, and/or hinges. The method further comprises welding or consolidating the first and second skins together, along with the associated internal features overmolded thereon to form a single-piece, stiffened, fiber-reinforced thermoplastic control surface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 17, 2023
    Date of Patent: March 12, 2024
    Assignee: ROHR, INC.
    Inventors: Samantha Landis, Guinevere Berg, Andrew Cai, Johann Steven Schrell
