Zusammenfassung: | The invention relates to a method of constructing a skin for a member of a body, for example the skin of an aircraft wing.
The method of constructing a skin for a member of a body such as an aircraft comprises providing from a multi-axial fabric first and second pieces A, Ashaped to correspond respectively to the shape of the member to be covered by the skin and to the shape of a similar member on the opposite side of the body, and inverting one of the pieces and placing it on the other. The method may include providing third and fourth pieces B, Bfrom multi-axial fabric shaped to correspond respectively to the shape of the member to be covered by the skin and to the shape of the similar member on the opposite side of the body and inverting one of the third and fourth pieces B, Band placing it on the other to form a skin for the similar member. In order to minimise wastage the method preferably includes forming the first piece A and third piece B from areas of the fabric which lie alongside each other and/or forming the second piece Aand the fourth Bpiece from areas of the fabric which lie alongside each other. |
