NANO-REINFORCED RADIUS FILLER FOR AN AIRCRAFT STRUCTURE AND A METHOD OF PRODUCING AN AIRCRAFT STRUCTURE COMPRISING SUCH FILLER

摘要

A composite radius filler for use in an aircraft structure. The aircraft structure includes structural composite parts assembled together to form the aircraft structure. The composite radius filler is arranged between rounded sections of the structural composite parts for filling a gap formed between the structural composite parts. The composite radius filler is made structural by a nanostructure arranged within the composite radius filler for the reinforcement of the interface between the radius filler and the structural composite part. A method for producing an aircraft structure including a nano-reinforced radius filler.
