Within Clean-Sky Eco-Fairs project CETMA on behalf of AGUSTA carried out the Design, Manufacturing, Joining technology selection, Non Destructive Inspection (NDI), Mechanical characterization and Certification support for new Thermoplastic Structural components for helicopters. A robust methodology for the design, material selection and manufacturing of thermoplastic composite components for helicopters was developed and guidelines for designers were developed. The three demonstrators were designed and produced according to the technical specifications with a TRL6 Technology Readiness Level, by out of autoclave processes. Assessment of the environmental impact according to ECO-quotation procedures was also carried out.
