I have repaired multiple aircraft parts to include: B1 SMC Vane, B1 Trailing edge, B1 Inboard Leading Edge, B1 Weapons Bay Door, B1 radomes. For the last several years I repaired, modified, and fabricated composite or plastic items and assemblies with straight and curved surfaces and a number of interconnecting parts and components. The numerous curves, angles, and shapes cause difficulty in planning and laying out material. I make patterns or form blocks for the various interconnecting parts of the final items.I apply an in-depth knowledge of the working characteristics of a wide range of composite or plastic materials and woods, rubbers, clays, and plaster tooling compounds. I determine and select or substitute the materials to be used in the manufacture of master patterns, molds, and final items.I determine the type of composite, plastic, or other compound to use based on temperature, cure, weight, compatibility, flexibility, and time considerations. I consider the density, weave, and number of plies of reinforcement needed to obtain the required strength, stiffness, drape, and bulk of molds and final parts.
