  • MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR COMPOSITE MATERIAL STRUCTURAL COMPONENT FOR AIRCRAFT AND ITS STRUCTURAL COMPONENT
    Publication number: 20130119195
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a structural component includes a first step of attaching at least one conductive member to a surface of a base material made of a composite material and a second step of forming the base material by conducting electricity to part or the whole of the conductive member to generate heat and/or making an assembly of the structural component by conducting electricity to part or the whole of the conductive member to generate heat. Part or the whole of the conductive member contained in the structural component produced in the first and second steps serves as a member giving to the aircraft at least one of a lightning strike protection function, an anti-icing and deicing function and an electromagnetic interference shielding function.
    Type: Application
    Filed: May 10, 2012
    Publication date: May 16, 2013
    Applicant: SHINMAYWA INDUSTRIES, LTD.
