摘要

An improved monument structure combining an integrated construction system with carbon fiber reinforced composites to form an exoskeleton chassis that significantly reduces the build times, manufacturing skill level requirements, post processing activities, and overall weight of a given aircraft monument.

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 an integrated structural subassembly of carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRC) pre-impregnated panel skins; and
wherein an array of compartments are formed in the above work deck using a wet lay process having layers of a material placed in a mold over a wet lay, and then the compartments are reinforced with unidirectional carbon fiber reinforcing plies.
