Abstract

The article is devoted to the testing of fiberglass grade VPS-53K treated with atmospheric pressure plasma in the production environment of the manufacturer of the main and tail rotor blades of a helicopter. It has been established that atmospheric pressure plasma increases the wettability of the fiberglass surface and the strength of the adhesive joint of «the spar‒sheathing» (fiberglass grade VPS-53K). The guaranteed time interval between the processing of fiberglass with atmospheric pressure plasma and the gluing process is no more than 6 mon.
