Thermoplastic fuselage repair process integrated on manufacturing line
Development of new technologies for in-house repair (rework) for structural and non-structural applications on Single Part, Major Component Assembly and Final Assembly Line level. Two general concepts shall be investigated in parallel:
• Welded thermoplastic Pre-consolidated Repair-Patch with parent material
• In-Situ Layer-by-Layer Integration of Repair Patch
The developed approaches have to be demonstrated on representative structural detail level, taking account the local design and thermal distribution into the structure related to typical design of fuselage structures. Please refer to the full topic descriptions document published in this call.
