Abstract:
The use of binder yarn fabrics in rotor blade applications is investigated in this work. A
preforming procedure is incorporated in manufacturing, resulting in higher degree of
automation and a reduction of process steps. The performance of the process is
evaluated with respect to cost savings compared to prepregging technologies.
