An Aircraft Composite Repair Set is a specialized equipment used in aircraft maintenance and repair shops. It falls under the supply class of Aircraft Maintenance And Repair Shop Specialized Equipment, which is part of the supply group Maintenance And Repair Shop Equipment.

The Aircraft Composite Repair Set is specifically designed for repairing composite materials used in aircraft structures. Composite materials are commonly used in modern aircraft due to their lightweight and high strength properties. However, they can be susceptible to damage and require specialized repair techniques.

The Aircraft Composite Repair Set typically includes various tools and materials necessary for composite repair, such as:

1. Composite repair patches: These are pre-cut patches made from composite materials that are used to reinforce damaged areas.

2. Epoxy resin: A type of adhesive used to bond the repair patches to the damaged area.

3. Composite repair tapes: These tapes are used to provide additional reinforcement to the repaired area.

4. Vacuum bagging materials: Vacuum bagging is a technique used to apply pressure and ensure proper curing of the repair materials.

5. Heat sources: Heat guns or other heat sources may be included in the set to aid in the curing process.

6. Sanding and polishing tools: These tools are used to prepare the damaged area for repair and to achieve a smooth finish after the repair is complete.

7. Safety equipment: Personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and respirators may also be included to ensure the safety of the repair technician.

The Aircraft Composite Repair Set is essential for maintaining and repairing composite structures in aircraft. It allows technicians to effectively repair damage and ensure the structural integrity of the aircraft.
