Abstract
This chapter presents a novel manufacturing technology for the production of integrated structures made of carbon fiber composite materials. This manufacturing process is able to considerably reduce the production time of large assemblies for primary structural applications. It is based on a combination of the prepreg and the resin infusion technology, both of which are already established in industrial aerospace production. Experimental studies have been carried out to demonstrate the utility of this process. These investigations focused on the characterization of the generated contact zone through the use of two matrix systems as well as its mechanical properties.
