The intensifiers are designed to assume the shape of the noncomposite space within the fin/plane, thus occupying the gaps between the just-placed spar and the skins. The intensifier’s size depends on ...

Lockheed Martin Denver Orion Heat Shield utilizes Toray prepregs in a low pressure out of autoclave cure process. Processing. Accurate process controls and non-destructive inspection ... These ...

The researchers next looked for ways to make high-performance composites without the use of large, high-pressure autoclaves -- building-sized vessels that generate high enough pressures to press ...

Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are developing a method to produce aerospace-grade composites without the enormous ovens and pressure vessels currently used in the ...

This first step succeeded in automating and simplifying the production of intensifiers, making it much quicker and more sustainable than the traditional process. However, the short fiber-reinforced ...
