Zusammenfassung:Method of manufacturing "T" shaped stringers for an aircraft whereby the "T" shaped stringers have a stringer web and a stringer foot, the method comprising: a first step of hot-forming a carbon fiber laminate in order to achieve semi-stringers geometry with an "L" shaped cross-section, a second step of placing together two hot-formed "L" shaped semi-stringers in order to form a "T" shaped stringer, a third step of co-bonding the resulting "T" shaped stringer on a cured skin with an adhesive line between them, and a fourth step of curing the obtained "T" shaped stringer inside a vacuum bag using invar alloy angles as curing tools. The method characterised in that the invar alloy angles are cut at a radius area eliminating a part of the invar alloy angles covering the stringer foot in order to define an invar alloy piece having no foot.
