Aircraft galley monument structure

摘要

An improved monument structure combining an integrated construction system with carbon fiber reinforced composites to form an exoskeleton chassis. The chassis includes an above work deck subassembly, a below work deck subassembly, and a rear service wall subassembly, each respective subassembly is formed using carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRC) pre-impregnated panel skins. The subassemblies are reinforced with a unidirectional carbon fiber.

主权项

1. A monument for an aircraft, comprising an above work deck subassembly, a below work deck subassembly, and a rear service wall subassembly, wherein the above work deck subassembly and below work deck subassembly are each manufactured and cured as a complete integrated structural subassembly of carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRC) pre-impregnated panel skins, and wherein localized reinforcement at mating surfaces is established by application of unidirectional carbon fiber plies at a juncture of the mating surfaces over the CFRC pre-impregnated panel skins.
