  • Method for assembling elements of composite material for aircrafts, with stress relaxation in the elements
    Patent number: 9321219
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of assembling composite material parts (10, 12). The method makes provision for: mounting (S6) the parts for assembly under stress on a stand (14), which parts have been partially polymerized; heating (S7) these parts so as to polymerize them completely, thereby enabling the stresses in the parts to be relaxed and enabling them to match the shape of the sand; cooling (S8) the parts; and assembling (S9) in conventional manner the parts as cooled in this way.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 29, 2014
    Date of Patent: April 26, 2016
    Assignees: Airbus Operations (S.A.S.), Airbus Operations, Airbus Operations S.L.
    Inventors: Pierre Zahlen, Virginie Charbonnier, Philippe Blot, Melania Perez-Sanchez

  • Device for the production of a composite material part integrating a drainage system
    Patent number: 8784092
    Abstract: A device for producing a composite material part designed to be in contact with aerodynamic flows, in particular a portion of the fuselage, whereby the device includes at least one mold (32), elements (34, 36, 38) for compressing the part that is to be produced, as well as a system for drainage of the gases emanating from the part that is to be produced that includes at least one plate (42), characterized in that the at least one plate (42) includes a number of openings (44) whose shapes and/or arrangement limit the degradation of the aerodynamic characteristics of the part that is to be produced.
