Abstract
Because of their special and superior Structural properties advanced composites have attracted many airframe designers to use them. Apart from superior structural properties, these materials have the capability to get moulded to any complex shape. This property of composites need to be exploited for producing cost effective and superior structural parts. This as a main goal, co-curing concepts were developed by many airframe developers throughout the world. For the same reason, we also focused our efforts to develop this technology. In the co-curing concept unlike in metal construction, the sub-structure along with the skins is made in one operation. Keeping this as a main design driver, the fin for LCA was configured.
