The (Airbus) Protocol Programme - ALCAS 09

ALCAS项目符合英国航空航天技术战略和高价值制造的关键方面。该联盟汇集了在机翼制造技术领域具有良好记录的英国主要参与者，能够定义，开发和演示关键翼盒和根部连接技术的关键领域，以满足市场进入要求。该项目涵盖两个不同的技术领域，第一个是研究关键部件的测量技术。该项目研究了创新的方法，使它们可以通过经济过程进行测量，比较，重新加工和组装。第二是研究各种不同但相关的复合材料，加工和部件领域。涵盖的主要领域是优化工具的固化过程，改进的无损检测技术，以提高通过各种结构厚度的测量能力，测试面板的设计和制造，以研究共固化牺牲层，微截面的检查和加工试验。这也将需要制造一个额外的验证机机翼部分，重点是控制接口和推进与树脂转移灌注技术相关的科学。

The ALCAS project aligns with the UK Aerospace Technology Strategy and key aspects of high value manufacturing. The consortium brings together the key UK players with a proven track record in the field of wing construction technologies able to define, develop and demonstrate crucial areas of key wing box and root attachment techniques essential to meet market entry requirements.The project covers two distinct technology areas with the first researching measurement techniques for key component. The project investigates innovative ways that that they may be measured, compared, re-machined and assembled by economic processes. The second are researches into a variety of differing yet associated areas of composite materials, processing and components. The main areas covered are the curing processes for optimised tooling, improved NDT techniques to improve measurement capability through various structural thicknesses, the design and manufacturing of test panels to investigate co-cured sacrificial plies, inspection of micro sections, and machining trials. This will also require the fabrication of an additional demonstrator wing section, focusing on the control interfaces and progressing the science associated with resin transfer infusion techniques.
