    Abstract: A method of manufacture of a composite aircraft article aerodynamic surface by forming the composite aircraft article aerodynamic surface on an aircraft article composite forming tool. The aircraft article composite forming tool includes a matrix laminate including an upper ply including a forming surface for forming the composite aircraft article aerodynamic surface. The upper ply of the aircraft article composite forming tool includes a nano filament structure embedded therein. A blank is conformed onto the aircraft article composite forming tool. The aircraft article is formed on the upper ply of the forming surface. The forming surface of the aircraft article composite forming tool is adapted to form an aerodynamic surface of the aircraft article. The blank is cured into the aircraft article. The composite aircraft article is finished.
