Boeing 787 Composite Repair for Aircraft Structure Technicians

Composites on another level

This course empowers aircraft structure engineers with the capability to conduct inspections and repairs on the Boeing 787 aircraft structure, including the fuselage skin and stringers. Participants will delve into understanding the repair design criteria for these components.

Specifically designed to equip participants with essential skills and vital knowledge, the course enables them to submit bolted and bonded composite repair requests to Boeing, especially for damages surpassing the limitations outlined in the B787 SRM (Structural Repair Manual). The course strikes a balance between theoretical insights, practical demonstrations, and skills training. The extensive hands-on lab exercises involve working with fibers and liquid epoxy to explore the effects of orientation, balance, and symmetry in a laminate. Additionally, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of fundamental vacuum bagging, bleeder & breather concepts.

An in-depth comprehension of composite materials is emphasized to the extent that participants can understand and analyze repair designs. By completing this composite training program, participants acquire proficiency in Source Documents Review, Composite Structure Classification, Repair Categories, and intricate knowledge of composite repair design and criteria. It's noteworthy that all repairs during the practical training strictly adhere to the guidelines outlined in the Boeing 787 Structural Repair Manual.
