Fuselage

We are about to build moulds for fuselage. We decided to use a sandwich composite with aramid honeycomb core and of course vacuum technology.

That's how mould look like:

 Fig.2 Prolab

At figure 2 you can see a prolab material used for milling on CNC machine to obtain female moulds. It has many advantages, the most important one is that the surface of mould is ready to use right after milling, so it saves a lot of time, unfortunately it is one of the most expensive materials available.
