2023 JEC Composites Innovation Awards Winner - CETIM

CETIM developed Manufacture a Krueger wing flap in thermoplastic with partners: Loiretech– AFPT GmbH– SONACA SA

Innovative Krueger Flap produced In-situ with an automated thermoplastic process.
The innovative Krueger flap, produced through this multi-partner project, has a large and complex shape and was manufactured using an in-situ thermoplastic consolidation process. It outperforms existing processes in terms of structural and industrial performance with higher production, better process stability and improved composite quality (…).

Key benefits
In-situ consolidation with full automated process (laser filament winding)
Recyclability (thermoplastic part)
Repeatability and reliability of the process
Reduction of production costs
Mass reduction of large parts
