A Comparative Study of an Aircraft Radome Closed Mold through Vacuum Infusion Technique

Abstract:

In this paper, manufacturing process of aircraft radome via closed mold with vacuum infusion process is presented. Closed mold is needed to get smooth inner and outer surface. The radome mold was formed from the original part of the aircraft Duke 60 Beachcraft. The closed mold is made from fiber glass/polyester composite via hand lay-up technique. Tooling grade vinyl ester gel coat is applied on the mold to produce fine smooth surface and protection. Later, the radome part is fabricated with vacuum infusion and the consistency of thickness is achieved.
