How to produce a Carbon Fibre wing for a lightweight aircraft.

Описание: Hi everyone!

In this video,you will see the process of manufacturing a Carbon fibre wing for an lighweight aircraft,using the prepreg vaccum bag process.

It all starts with the impregnation of the tissue weither its Carbon fibre,fibre glass,or Kevlar.
Fibres are impregnated with controled amount of resin/fibre ratio ,and then inspected by the quality management director to make sure they are at the required standards,wich are the highest at ABC Composite.

The prepreg is then placed on the cutting machine to go throught the cutting process according to the drawings on the software.During the same moment someone is applying mold release agent on the mold so the prepreg doesnt stick to the mold during the curing. Just like applying butter on the pan before making pancakes!

The laminating process starts in the white room where the temperature and humidity is controlled according to the ISO requirements.The agent then places the layers of Carbon fibre prepreg on the mold.You can see that he applies a vaccum after the first layer.This step is called "compaction" it is to make sure the first layer is well placed on the mold so it doesnt keep any air bubble in the part.
We then seal the mold with a vaccum bag after applying the last layer of Carbon fibre.Along with other consumable materials needed for this process.(peel ply,release film,breather and vaccum bag)

The molds are then placed in the oven to start the curing process,or the autoclave for structural parts.

The part is then taken out the mold to the finishing process,where the edges are cut,the parts get sanded.At the end the part end's up in the painting cabin ready to be painted according to the customer's choice.
