Abstract:
In an embodiment of the disclosure, there is provided a method of fabricating a thermoplastic torque box assembly. The method includes providing a plurality of braided thermoplastic tubular spar caps, connecting one or more connector elements to one or more of the braided thermoplastic tubular spar caps, and laying up an inner thermoplastic facesheet in a continuous manner around the one or more braided thermoplastic tubular spar caps. The method further includes attaching a plurality of skin panel stabilization elements to the inner thermoplastic facesheet to define four torque box side portions, laying up and attaching an outer thermoplastic facesheet in a continuous manner around the plurality of skin panel stabilization elements, and heating at an effective temperature and an effective pressure the thermoplastic torque box assembly.
