In the Moscow experimental laboratory of technologies and constructions from polymer-composite materials of JSC AeroComposite about 10 000 samples are tested per year, which are necessary for further application of composites in the production of power structures of the aircraft MS-21, the head of the laboratory Alexey Nesterov told.
One of the main achievements of the laboratory is the development of the automated system for laying out the dry carbon tape with the help of the robotised installation. For this purpose, a special clean room is being prepared, which will meet the requirements of humidity and temperature, maintaining a cleanliness class of type 8, in order to ensure high quality of the process and prepare for serial production of parts as early as February 2024.
The next important step for the company is the project for serial production of aluminium parts for the MS-21. A second part clean room on the first floor of the laboratory is being built for this purpose. Here it is planned to carry out work on the serial production of parts for the MS-21, including interior cladding and door parts.
“The MS-21 is already practically a serial project, and the prospect is to introduce the technology to wide-body long-haul aircraft. As for the prospects, the composite wing could be a good economic solution for the SJ-100 airliner as well. It is, of course, a new CD, new design, but already now it has all the mechanisation made of composite”, – Alexey Nesterov explained.
