Research abstract
Optimize process to meet the specifications and challenges associated with the UH-1 tail boom. This will entail performing testing and evaluation of the factors deemed most relevant. This could include, but is not limited to material property testing, tooling design, tooling trials, in-situ process modifications, labor and fabrication cost analysis. Some of the specific topics that possibly present themselves to evaluation are part radii, stiffener to skin interface and laminate mechanical properties.
