    Abstract: A winding apparatus for and method of manufacturing structures (116) includes a rotating faceplate (74) upon which are mounted a forming station for forming a supply of strip material before it is wound into a desired structure and a plurality of inner supports in the form of rollers (110) mounted for rotation about an axis and with said faceplate and a plurality of outer driven rollers (92) provided on an outer faceplate (118). The inner rollers (110) are mounted for radial movement relative to the inner faceplate (74). In operation, the inner rollers (110) act to support an inner portion S1 of strip material wound thereon whilst allowing it to be supplied from an inner diameter thereof to said forming station and the outer rollers (92) act to support an outer portion S2 of said strip. Said outer rollers are driven as and when necessary to transfer material to the inner portion S1 and the radial position of the inner rollers increases as strip material is consumed from an inner diameter, thereby to maintain support of the strip supply regardless of the amount that has been consumed.

    Abstract: A method is provided for making a composite laminate aircraft skin for a fuselage in multiple composite panels. A resin-impregnated composite tape is placed on a lay-up surface of a mandrel tool to form the composite laminate aircraft skin as a barrel that is substantially the shape of a fuselage section. The barrel is cut into a plurality of panels on the mandrel tool, and at least one panel of the plurality of panels is transferred, individually and independently of all other of the plurality of panels, from the lay-up surface of the mandrel tool to a first cure tool of a plurality of cure tools having an aero surface tooled to an outer mold line. The at least one of the panels is cured on the first cure tool to form a cured composite panel. The first cure tool defines and controls the outer mold line of the at least one panel. The cured composite panel is removed from the first cure tool.

    Abstract: Armouring tape (102) for wrapping around a hose (300) during its fabrication by a hose-wrapping machine (200; 400). The tape (102) is coiled into a roll (100) having a hollow core (109) from which the tape (102) is unwound to be wrapped onto the hose (300). Th hose-wrapping machine (200; 400) rotatably mounts the roll (100) with the hose (300) passing through the roll core (109), the roll axis (108) being skewed to the hose axis (304) by the helix angle at which the tape (102) is to be wrapped onto and along the hose (300). The hose (300) is moved longitudinally through the longitudinally static roll (100) and at the same time, the roll (100) is rotated around the longitudinal axis (304) of the non-rotating hose (300). The armouring tape (102) unwinds from the inside (109) of the roll onto and along the hose (300) so as to wrap the hose (300) with a uniform helix of armouring tape (102). The use of a tape (102) containing an elastomer-enbedded array of armouring cables (104) enables armouring wires and elastomer layers to be applied without a stabilising layer of fabric, and greatly simplifies setting-up of machinery for hose fabrication. The use of a tape roll (100) which can be unwound from its inside (109) enables hoses to be wrapped without having to orbit rolls that are very large and heavy.
