Overview
Objectives:
Pressure forward bulkheads consisted of different parts requiring an assembly process to get the final structure. Cost reduction can be achieved by using one shot injection technologies where an integrated skin-stiffening pre-form will be injected in one single shot. Further reduction of costs and energy consumption can be achieved by using Out of Autoclave resin systems. This proposal addresses the materials and processes to fulfil the requirements described in the topic description and indicates future trends related to the design and manufacturing of bulkhead manufacturing.
