Application of Bonded Composite Repair Technology to Civil Aircraft — B747 Demonstration Programme

Abstract

As part of a demonstration program nine bonded‐composite doublers were applied to a Boeing 747–300 aircraft in service with Qantas Airways Limited. The aim was to demonstrate the environmental durability of this type of repair, and thus the doublers were not applied to any damaged locations. This paper describes the location of the doublers, the procedures used to apply them and their status after more than two years of senvice,
