SPLICED LAMINATE FOR AIRCRAFT FUSELAGE

A laminated body panel for aircraft applications comprises first and second metal layers and an adhesive layer. First and second sections in each metal layer are generally coplanar and separated by a splice line. A first splice line in a first metal layer is generally parallel to a second splice lin...

Zusammenfassung:A laminated body panel for aircraft applications comprises first and second metal layers and an adhesive layer. First and second sections in each metal layer are generally coplanar and separated by a splice line. A first splice line in a first metal layer is generally parallel to a second splice line in a second metal layer, and spac ed laterally from the second splice line. An adhesive layer between the metal layers preferably contains reinforcing fibers bridgi ng across the splice lines. An aircraft fuselage or wing or empennage made with spliced body panels of the invention has fewer joints and weights less than one made with narrower body panels containing unspliced metal layers.
