The C-130 Composite Flap Programme resulted from the need for redesign of the existing metal flaps which suffer throughout their life from severe acoustic fatigue cracking. The total development programme up to delivery of the first flight set, including static and acoustic fatigue testing, was completed within 12 months. To achieve this ambitious schedule it was necessary to integrate design, manufacturing and certification into a united team with comprehensive understanding of the materials and technologies to be utilised. The C-130J Composite Flap is testimony to this harmonious blend which is so essential to the successful integration of composite material into a production environment.
