Intense heat from a compromised thermal blanket caused inner skin carbon ply disbonding from the honeycomb core on the thrust reverser.

Pt21 Solutions designed a targeted composite intervention combining advanced localized injection bonding with a meticulous trim pattern and custom curing protocol, fully restoring the sandwich panel's structural integrity.

Scope of Work

  • Root-cause assessment of thermal blanket heat damage
  • Localized injection bonding of disbonded inner skin
  • Meticulous trim pattern design
  • Custom curing protocol
