The repair of composite aircraft structures is similar to that of other advanced composite repair techniques. These principles will be covered briefly with emphasis and examples on applications in light General Aviation composite aircraft. This type of aircraft structure repair differs from other composite repairs in that skin thicknesses are relatively thin and usually of sandwich construction. “Best” repair techniques are heavily dependent on details of the structure. In other words, because composites excel at being tailored to meet very specific needs, there are few “universal” materials and methods that can be used to achieve successful results.
