Abstract

Today wings for Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 aircraft are made of polymer composite materials in the form of prepregs based on carbon fiber, the blanks of which are molded in an autoclave. It is expected that by 2025–2030 will actively use the vacuum infusion method, which will require global research on the selection of binding and reinforcing materials, development of the vacuum impregnation and curing process, automation and development of new technological methods for laying out workpieces of parts, accelerating the process and shortening the cycle time.
