Processes for fabricating polymer composite materials that contain a polymer matrix, reinforcement fabrics (54), and particles of a filler material (52). The processes include spraying the particles of the filler material (52) on at least two articles (54,74) that each comprise at least one of the reinforcement fabrics (54) to form particle-laden articles (56,76). The particle-laden articles (56,76) are stacked to form a stacked structure (58,78), and a resin present within the stacked structure (58,78) is then cured to form a laminate polymer composite material. The process can be employed in the fabrication of at least a portion of an aircraft engine nacelle (34), for example, the inlet lip (42) of a fan nacelle (34). |
