This project will research materials and develop a design and conceptfor makingA ultra-strong, light weight small crater repair system using ultra-light,Ultra-strong advanced materials. The end product forphase i will be a detailedDesign and analysis for the system. The advanced material system will be designedTo take advantage of a number of significant advances in materials andProprietary technology in manufacturing developed by advanced compositeTechnology, inc. (act). Act has developed two technologies significant for thisProject. The first technology is to lay wet laminate fibers at commercial speedsWhile producing a smooth product with low void content at precise angles.TheSecond technology is the ability to lay complex geometric parts using robotics.The ability to manufacture at commercial speeds using non pre-preg materialsAllows for tailoring a matrix using different fibers within the bundle and offersPotentially major reductions in costs.
