- The Composite panels
There are 4 composite pieces in this assembly, all of them carefully handcrafted.
The weight and structural strength requirements implied the use of only carbon fiber PrePreg while curing the parts in Autoclave at the prescribed temperature and pressure parameters.
Attention was paid to avoid galvanic corrosion in between metal parts and composite panels.
