After final process tests and fine setup, infusion of the first full-scale dummy has taken place. Infusion of the part is one-shot, including not only the skin but also 6 stringers, front and rear spars as well as 24 stiffeners. The goal of complete and reliable part integration has been achieved, keeping assembly tolerances, resulting in no further assembly processes for stringers and spars, and taking advantage of the easiness of integration in infusion processes. Flow behaviour and resin consumption were compared to simulations, and forming and assembly steps were previously implemented with satisfactory results.
