most repairs are done by the airline approved maintenance ppl.
They only contact the a/c manufacturer when theyve got some concerns
or are unsure what to do.
Bonded composite repairs, im sure will be the norm once the a350 and 787
are well into service. Ive heard about them talking about the patches
for the 787.
I guess the conditions have to exactly right (i.e. the curing process
the mixing materials) in order that when the patch is bonded on, it
will meet the allowables that you specify it will meet.
So what Fsu can you achieve with the adhesive?
I guess the main people you should be trying to convince are the airlines
and the certification authorities, if you say it saves money? Its only a cultural thing at the end of the day.
it doesnt take long however to make a patch, drill off 15-20 holes and install
the rivets. And at least you are 100% confident that the the rivet allowable will
be spot on.
ill look at your website
