The present invention belongs to the field of wing
manufacturing technology, and specifically relates to a three-dimensional woven sandwich composite aircraft
leading edge skin and a manufacturing method thereof. The three-dimensional woven preform for the aircraft
leading edge skin provided by the present invention has an aircraft
leading edge curved surface profiling structure; the three-dimensional woven preform is woven into an integral body, and the warp direction of the integrally woven preform is the same as the aircraft leading edge span direction, and the warp yarns form multiple warp
yarn layers, and the warp yarns in each warp
yarn layer are arranged along the curved profiling of the aircraft leading edge chord section; the three-dimensional woven preform includes an outer layer of three-dimensional
woven fabric, an inner layer of three-dimensional
woven fabric, and a sandwich material locked between the outer layer of three-dimensional
woven fabric and the inner layer of three-dimensional woven fabric. The three-dimensional woven composite leading edge
skin provided by the present invention has excellent anti-
delamination and
energy absorption capabilities, which solves the technical problems of
high weight or easy damage between
layers of traditional wing leading edge skin materials, and has strong
bird strike resistance and a certain load-
bearing capacity after
impact, thereby effectively ensuring
flight safety.
