Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a composite assembly of an empennage and rear-fuselage having a continuous skin solution. The method obtains parts of the sub-structure. For each part, it is obtained a plurality of stringers performs and frames preforms by composite tooling. The frames are transferred to curing frames molds and a sub-structure skin is obtained. Furthermore, the method includes integrating the parts over an integration tool having cavities for locating the curing frames molds and the stringer performs. Furthermore, the method includes co-curing the integration tool in one shot on an autoclave, demolding the sub-structure skin sections and disassembling the curing frame molds to obtain the composite assembly of the rear section.
