內容簡介The goal of any commercial aircraft maintenance and repair crew is the fastest safe return of the aircraft to service - especially in view of the fact that the cost in lost revenue of an unscheduled AOG (aircraft on the ground) is, on average, 100,000 dollars per day. No wonder, then, that in the run-up to the launches of the Airbus A380 and Boeing 787, much has been made of airline and maintenance and repair organization (MRO) concern about how aircraft composites would be repaired. Considering that the average permanent composite repair, as permitted in Structural Repair Manuals (SRMs), takes roughly 15 hours, according to SAE's Commercial Airline Composite Repair Committee (CACRC), in-situ composite repairs performed at the flight line can cause flight delays and cancellations. It's a dilemma made more challenging by fast gate turnarounds - between 30 and 60 minutes for domestic flights - and an overwhelming lack of line mechanics with specialized composites training. But aircraft OEMs, airlines and MROs are crafting strategies to minimize ground time, simplify repair regimes and make composite materials and processes accessible to technicians who are more accustomed to working with metals.
