The report includes detailed manufacturing plans for the fabrication of major structural components of the ADCA aircraft and their final assembly. A survey of existing tooling/manufacturing technology is presented to highlight areas requiring further development. A corrosion-control plan and quality-control plan are presented to show their relevance to the manufacturing plan. Based on a comparison to current metal aircraft, the design/manufacturing philosophy was established to reduce composite program costs, by striving to reduce part/fastener count. (Author)
