Wind Erosion Prevention and Repair of Composite Material Components of Civil Aircraft

Wind erosion is a common damage which is often found on the leading edges of external composite material components of civilian aircraft. This paper discusses how to discover the wind erosion of aircraft components in time and how to take appropriate measures to repair and prevent damage. By summarizing civilian aircraft maintenance data in the recent years from Guangzhou Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Co., Ltd., the aircraft components most susceptible to wind erosion are summarized and repair methods and prevention mechanisms are proposed. The results can serve as a reference and a guide to civilian aircraft flight maintenance, repair and routine inspections.
