Composite Construction Techniques

Some YouTube videos about composite airplane manufacturing:










Some one time methods:



Some mold making ideas:


And some videos about using those molds:


Here are the vacuum bagging steps again. In the video they vacuum bagged it twice; once before the honeycomp was laid and second time with all layers.



  • 0 - Mold (see separate videos for mold making)
  • 1 - 4 layers carbon
  • 1.1 - 0 layer
  • 1.2 - 45 layer
  • 1.3 - 45 layer
  • 1.4 - 0 layer
  • 2 - peel-ply
  • 3 - breather/bleeder
  • 4 - bagging film + vacuum
  • 5 - honeycomp
  • 6 - 3 layers carbon
  • 6.1 - 0 layer
  • 6.2 - 45 layer
  • 6.3 - 0 layer
  • 7 - peel-ply
  • 8 - breather/bleeder
  • 9 - bagging film + vacuum
("Molds should have at least 3 times more layers than parts to be pulled out of them.")

The following video from the same source is also very informative (in 8 parts).
