Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a method for producing a profile from composite fiber material, in particular in the aviation and aerospace field, having the following steps: A preliminary fabric, particularly made of pre-impregnated fiber material, is first packed in a vacuum bag. Then support elements are laid on the packed preliminary fabric to support the latter. The vacuum bag is then supplied with a vacuum. Next, the preliminary fabric is hardened to the profile under the action of heat, in particularly in an autoclave. With the claimed method the support elements can be formed advantageously from favorable material, in particular aluminum, instead of highly expensive nickel-36 steel, since the support elements are uncoupled mechanically from the preliminary fabric in a longitudinal direction by means of the vacuum bag, enabling movement of the support elements in the longitudinal direction relative to the preliminary fabric.
