摘要:
The present invention refers to the configuration and manufacturing process of a rib (22) for the construction of an aircraft torsion box. In the method a flat stack of plies of composite material (13) is layered up, which is then cut to form a flat pre-form (14) having an outer contour (15) configuring flanges, and an internal contour configuring two or more diagonal truss (16) with flanges (17) at opposite sides. The flat pre-form (14) is press-formed to fold the flanges of the outer and internal contour to form a rib pre-form, which is finally cured. The invention also refers to a composite rib (22) obtained as an unitary body by conforming a single pre-form of stacked plies. The invention allows the manufacture of the rib (22) in one-shot process, integrating all its components, such as the assembly time and cost of the rib are minimized.

The present invention refers to the configuration of a leading edge section (1) with laminar flow control, wherein the leading edge comprises: a perforated outer skin (2), an inner surface (3), a plurality of suction chambers (4) formed between the outer skin (2) and the inner surface (3) and a plurality of radial structural elements (5) to withstand structural loads at the leading edge. The radial structural elements (5) are arranged to define the suction chambers (4) together with the outer skin (2) and the inner surface (3), and the radial structural elements (5) and/or the inner surface (3) are perforated, such that an exterior region of the leading edge is communicated with an interior region of the leading edge through said suction chambers (4). The invention provides an optimized leading edge with a laminarflow control system, from a structural point of view, including improved bird impact performance.

The present invention refers in general to the configuration and manufacturing method for a trailing edge (3) of an aircraft airfoil (2), such as a control surface or a lifting surface. The trailing edge of the invention is formed and configured by upper and lower composite covers (4,5), which are stitched to each other with a metallic wire (9), such as the metallic wire (9) is electrically in contact with upper and lower metallic meshes (6,7) to provide electrical continuity between meshes. According to the method of the invention, upper and lower covers (4,5) configuring the trailing edge (3), are stitched with the metallic wire (9) before curing the covers, so that the metallic wire gets embedded within the composite material. The invention provides a trailing edge (3) for an aircraft airfoil (2), which is easy to manufacture and that at the same time fulfills aerodynamic, mechanical and electrical conductivity requirements.
