La Famiglia ATR
Aereo regionale da trasporto con bimotore turboprop progettato e fabbricato da Alenia
Aermacchi in a joint venture 50/50 con EADS. ATR42 (42-50 seats) and ATR72 (64-74
seats) sono molto apprezzati da passeggeri e airlines per gli elevati standard di confort, i
bassi costi operativi e la semplicità di manutenzione.
L’ATR ha abbondantemente superato i 1000 velivoli ordinati.

Prospettive Future
E’ in valutazione la realizzazione di un nuovo velivolo
regionale nella fascia dei 90 posti, ad integrazione del
successo dell’ATR.
Il velivolo dovrebbe confermare le parti in composito
realizzate sull’ATR, con possibilità di ulteriori soluzioni in
composito (fusoliera).

Dal punto di vista del rispetto dell’ambiente la
riduzione di peso produce un significativo
effetto di riduzione di risparmio di carburante e
di produzione di COx a parità di distanza e di

Composite surface preparation
Maurizio Foppa Pedretti for AIRET – September 2012
Background
Composites are used in aerospace
since a long time but mainly for secondary
parts
Nowadays, thanks to new technical
developments, composites are starting to
gain primary parts
The surface preparation becomes a critical
operation to avoid breaking the mechanical
skills of the material itself

Carbon preform concept , RTM process, applications
for carbon component construction
WHY RTM
AUTOCLAVE vs RTM vs SMC
Lamiflex RTM concept is for
high performance carbon parts
Vol % > 50%
Productivity 100100-200 p/y
WHY RTM
AUTOCLAVE:
Low production rate
High mechanical performance
One side net shape
Simple moulds
RTM:
Medium production rate
High mechanical performance
Twice side net shape
Complex moulds
SMC:
High production rate
Medium mechanical performance
Twice side net shape
Medium complex moulds
WHY RTM
AUTOCLAVE:
Manual lamination - quality of the part is linked to the operator
RTM:
Automation carbon preform
(Core of the RTM – how to make the preform..!!!)
(Lamiflex proposes a new patent system for complex frames)
SMC:
High level of automation
WHY RTM
RTM is a good production system for:
Medium production
100-500 / year (for one mould)
Medium component dimensions
from 1000mm to 3000mm
High mechanical performance
E from 70 to 140 GPa
Sigma from 400 to 900 MPa
All surfaces tool side
for a perfect assembling parts
Complex Shapes
Depending of the preform technology
If the component has these requirements RTM
is a good solution
Lamiflex RTM know how
Lamiflex use RTM process from 20 years in particular for radiology table top and
head rest applications (Siemens).
FEM simulation
RTM production
Critical and structural medical component with high level of
control in term of raw material, process parameters, NDA
and XX-ray image quality
QUALITY CONTROL SIEMENS
Lamiflex RTM know how
Lamiflex use RTM process from 20 years in particular for radiology table top
and head rest applications (Siemens).
Lamiflex RTM know how
Lancing wheel for weaving looms
Metallic inserts co-molded
Dynamic component with 200G of acceleration / 0,05 sec
Lamiflex RTM know how
Lamiflex develop for Alenia an infusion carbon tool with thermal control for “T”
stringer production (IMAC PRO program).

FRAMES structural concept
A new approach of a preform making and RTM molding
Typical autoclave approach:
Ribs elimination
Corners elimination
(too complex)
(complex deformation for pre-pregs)
corner
rib
RTM approach:
Same external geometry of the aluminum
frame…this concept is the core of the
development.
AW CARBON PREFORM
Using multi-axial carbon reinforcement and unidirectional it
is possible to make the preform
Carbon preform for
the frame
Carbon preform for the
complete frame
Good manipulation
Binder treatment
Packaging with vacuum bag
FROM AW project TO the CONCEPT for
STRUCTURAL frames
The RTM project is applicable for a huge range of geometries…using the same
concept.

Standard Options
Stirring
• Prevents filler fallout.
• Keeps S.G. constant.
(When fitting heating to a reservoir, this normally
reduces the viscosity therefore allowing the fillers to fall
out of suspension more readily)

Standard Options
Level Sensing
• High-level sensors are normally fitted with the
automatic bulkfeed system, and will give a visual &
audible alarm if the bulkfeed supply runs out.
• Low-level sensors give visual and audible alarm.

Vacuum
• Normally required when encapsulating electronic
components within a Vacuum Chamber
• Adds a considerable cost to the machine depending
upon the exact vacuum requirements (i.e. high-vac or

“ Macchine specialistiche per processo RTM “
Standard Options
Auto-Bulkfeed
• Requires electronic high-level sensors with auto
transfer pump start/stop sequencing.
This also gives an indication of when the bulkfeed
container has run low.
• Machines can also be gravity fed directly from suppliers
containers.

Standard Options
Anti-Gel Timer
• Required to automatically dispense a shot to “purge”
the mixer nozzle, therefore giving an extended mixer
nozzle life.
• Anti-Gel countdown time and shot volumes can also be
pre-set on machine.
MVP Italia Composite technologies srl
AIRET - Compositi per un trasporto aereo più sicuro, efficiente e rispettoso dell’ambiente
“ Macchine specialistiche per processo RTM “
Standard Options
Shot Counter / Repeater (Piston Pumps)
• Required to dispense several pre-set metered shots into
the component.
This option is normally only used when dispensing into
large components with a small shotting machine.
It reduces the chances of underfilling, or overfilling a
component.

Result
We have developed and successfully tested a
blast-resistant
flexible

luggage
container “FLY-BAG” for the protection of aircrafts
from on-board explosions from explosives hidden in
luggage in the cargo hold

The FLY-BAG is not...
• The FLY-BAG container is not a ULD (although extending
the concept to a ULD version is straightforward)
• It is more like “a bag full of bags”
• It stays inside the cargo hold of the airplane (non-ULD
version), hence no degradation problems
• It does not require any modification to the hold
equipment/structure
• It does not require any special machinery or skill
• When not in use, it is simply folded and kept in the hold,
thanks to its flexible composite structure
FLY-BAG Blastworthy flexible composite luggage container for aircraft cargo holds
The FLY-BAG is...
•
•
•
•
•
•
Lightweight (65 kg) ≤ standard Al LD3-45 ULD (85 kg)
Blast resistant
(Relatively) inexpensive: target cost ≤ 2.000 €
Easy to install and use
Durable: target working life (foreseen) at least 3 years
Slim – payload is unaffected when in use, when folded it
fits in a 30x40x80 cm case
• Suitable both for narrow- and wide-bodies; presently
developed with focus on narrow bodies
FLY-BAG Blastworthy flexible composite luggage container for aircraft cargo holds
The FLY-BAG Approach
• Use a flexible composite multilayer structure
• Use advanced concepts of progressive failure/energy
absorption
• Use advanced materials (including anti-blast fabrics,
composites, and nanomaterials)
• Follow functional requirements from the aviation sector
FLY-BAG Blastworthy flexible composite luggage container for aircraft cargo holds
Blast events
• Four possible causes of damage:
– High speed fragments ejection
– Shock peak pressure (duration: few ms)
– Quasi static pressure (duration: few s)
– Fire/heat

FLY-BAG Awards
FLY-BAG Blastworthy flexible composite luggage container for aircraft cargo holds
From FLY-BAG to FLY-BAG2
• FLY-BAG has demonstrated the feasibility of a textilebased blast resistant container, but:
– For a specific configuration (narrow-body, the container stays
in the hold)
• No use for wide bodies
• No use against suicide bombers
– We only blast-tested it in open air
– The interaction with airframe is only known from simulations,
not tested
FLY-BAG Blastworthy flexible composite luggage container for aircraft cargo holds
FLY-BAG2
• For addressing these issues, a new European Project, called FLYBAG2 has been proposed and approved by the EC
