    At the end of February 2020, the project referred to as KEELBEMAN was successfully concluded


    .


    The KEELBEMAN project addresses the design and manufacture of monolithic components with thermoplastic carbon fiber keel beam components


    .


    Under the technical leadership of the Italian R&D center CETMA, an expert in composite processes and properties characterization, a new continuous compression molding process was used to manufacture the skins and stringers of the keel beams


    .


    The EURECAT research center in Spain produces the stiffeners using a more traditional non-isothermal compression molding process


    .


    Two other KEELBEMAN project partners have contributed to the completion of these production technologies:

    French engineering company CT Ingenierie: The company redesigned the keel beams from metal to rivetless composite materials, and based on structural and production process analysis, the component structure and thickness were redefined


    .


    Spanish aerospace tier 2 supplier SOFITEC: According to Airbus standards and the particularity of thermoplastic welded composite structures, the company defines and completes ultrasonic non-destructive testing of prototypes, secondary structural parts and final parts in detail
