DEVICE FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF A PART MADE OF A COMPOSITE COMPRISING SMOOTHING PLATES HAVING SLIDING JUNCTIONS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SMOOTHING PLATES HAVING SLIDING JUNCTIONS

摘要

The subject of the invention is a device for the manufacture of part of an aircraft made of a composite, one surface of which is liable to be in contact with aerodynamic flows, said device comprising, on the one hand, a male mould and, on the other hand, at least two smoothing plates (12) capable of exerting pressure on the part to be produced while it undergoes a curing phase, during which a contraction phenomenon occurs, characterized in that at least one of the two smoothing plates (12.1, 12.2) has a smooth edge with a bevel shape against which at least one surface of the other smoothing plate can slide, so as to compensate for the shrinkage phenomenon.
