Richard T. Barrett has over 25 years' experience in aircraft maintenance, including Composite Shop Manager for Continental Airlines. From 1987 to 1995 he performed, managed and trained in hands-on repair of damaged composite parts.
Composites fill a major role in military airframes.
Repairs are completely different from those of classic aluminum airframes. The authors go into great detail on practical techniques, covering paint removal, disbonding, removal of damage and surface corrosion. There's a section on required shop equipment and hand tools, with details on preparing the surface for finishing. This is a practical book for anyone who works around aircraft with any composite structure.
