SPARE – FULL SCALE INNOVATIVE COMPOSITE PAX AND CARGO FLOOR GRIDS FOR REGIONAL AIRCRAFT FUSELAGE BARREL ON – GROUND DEMONSTRATORS [GA ID: 820840]

Call | Clean Sky 2 – JTI-CS2-2017-CfP07-REG-01-14
Project duration | from 01.10.2018 to 30.11.2021

AERONAUTICS | COMPOSITE MATERIALS | INDUCTION WELDING | INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY

Objective | To manufacture full-scale floor grids (passengers and cargo) for regional Aircraft Fuselage using carbon fibres reinforced composite with thermoplastic matrix. Innovative solutions (Progressive Roll Forming and Induction welding) for highly automated production will be used, thus ensuring weight saving and recurring cost reduction.

CETMA’s role | To develop a procedure for the in-line monitoring, modelling and simulation of the tools and the materials temperatures during moulding process, optimization of the induction welding technique for the manufacturing of the H-Shape bars, destructive characterization.
