CW’s summary published during the same time period, “Moving forward on the Multifunctional Fuselage Demonstrator (MFFD)”. The project was also described in a presentation given by Lars Larsen at 9:35 on Day 3 of ITHEC 2020: “Process data-driven advancement of robot-based, continuous ultrasonic welding for the Dust-free Assembly of Future Fuselage Structures”.
As explained by Larsen, “The major challenge is to show that production costs can be significantly reduced by using automation.” For the MFFD upper half, this includes in-situ consolidation via automated tape laying/fiber placement (ATL/AFP) to avoid the autoclave and dustless/dust-free welding for assembly. “This should make it possible to change the sequence of component and final assembly lines in the future,” says Larsen, “allowing systems to be integrated
