Hands-on Exercises:
Learning by Doing.

• Panel layup using prepreg carbon uni-tape materials; symmetric and asymmetric laminates.
• Drying of moisture-contaminated sandwich panels.
• Temporary skin protection using high speed tape.
• Edge erosion repair.
• Bonded composite doubler repair for perforating damage.
