Advanced level composites video tutorial outlining the process of laminating and vacuum bagging a complex, hollow carbon fibre part, including the use of silicone intensifiers to achieve proper consolidation in challenging areas.
As well as the main moulding, the guide also covers bonding in the internal structure including longerons, bulkheads, and spars to complete the fuselage for a composite 'flying wing' drone.
