Development of composite structural aerospace parts by out-of-autoclave process

该项目是麦哲伦航空航天公司与Cegep edward - montpetit的Centretechnologique en aeronauspatiale （CTA）合作的结果。该项目涉及一种用于制造复杂几何形状的复合航空航天结构件的非高压灭菌工艺的开发。这项创新有助于为一种新的OOA工艺建立材料特性和参数，以帮助选择最接近的热压罐等效材料，直到开发出航空航天结构件所需的完整数据库。研究结果表明，利用所开发的面向对象加工工艺可以制造出高性能的航空复合材料零件。与传统金属部件相比，主要目标在于减轻重量。目标减重为50%。这个项目的成功将使麦哲伦巩固其在加拿大航空航天工业中的领导地位，特别是在直升机结构部件的制造方面。它可以创造高质量的就业机会。轻型结构将有助于减少航空航天工业的燃料消耗。这种新的合作关系也是CTA与加拿大航空航天工业主要参与者建立联系的绝佳机会，从而加强其在复合材料制造应用研究和开发方面的地位。来自Cegep Édouard-Montpetit的一名教师将为该项目做出贡献，并将能够将他的新经验融入他在Cegep提供的培训中。此外，CTA将从cegep中聘请一名实习生参与该项目。这个实习生将为他的队伍增添相关的经验。

This project is the result of a partnership between Magellan Aerospace and Cegep Edouard-Montpetit's Centretechnologique en aerospatiale (CTA). The project is related to the development of an out-of-autoclave processfor the manufacturing of composite aerospace structural parts, with complex geometry. The innovation relieson the establishment of material properties and parameters for a novel OOA process to help down select theclosest autoclave equivalent material until the complete database, required for aerospace structural parts, isdeveloped. The results of the study will indicate that aerospace composite parts with high performance can bemanufactured using the developed OOA process. The main objective relies on the weight reduction whencompared to traditionnal metallic parts. The target weight reduction is 50%. The success of this project wouldallow Magellan to consolidate its position as a leader in the canadien aerospace industry and especially in themanufacturing of structural parts for helicopters. It could lead to the creation of high quality jobs. The lighterstructures would contribute to the fuel consumption reduction efforts in the aerospace industry. This newpartership is also a great opportunity for CTA to bond with a major actor in the Canadian aerospace industry,thus reinforcing its position in applied research and development in composite manufacturing. A teacher fromCegep Édouard-Montpetit will contribute to the project, and will be able to integrate his new experience in thetraining he provides in the Cegep. Also, CTA will hire an intern from the cegep to participate in the project.This intern will add relevant experience to his formation.
