Four full-scale Metal-Matrix Composite (MMC) vertical tails were built from two types of MMC: 15 v/o SiCw/2124-T6 Al, and SiC/6061 Al. Fabrication of the detail parts used several unique, cost-effective processes. Without question, the greatest labor-saving device was the robotic abrasive waterjet used to cut the flat patterns. Flanged ribs were formed by hot-rubber hydroforming, replacing matched dies with a single male form block. The large laminated SiCw/Al skins were chemically milled and adhesive-bonded. All fabrication and assembly operations were performed in accordance with production-rate process standards and instructions.
