WP6: Demonstrator Tooling​

Design and manufacture innovative tooling which Will allow integral manufacture of 3 spars and skin of a 7 meter wing structure

Should be suitable for both Liquid Resin Infusion and prepreg manufacturing

Should allow minor adjustments to compensate for “spring-in” deformation effects

Will have an overall cost reduction in comparison with similar metallic tooling

FITCow tooling
