A method and apparatus for forming a bend in composite panel. A method for forming a bend in a composite panel comprises forming a slot having a curved flange in the composite panel, inserting a sheet into the curved flange, and bending the composite panel with the slot and the sheet within the curved flange about a longitudinal axis of the slot to form the bend.

    Méthode et appareil permettant de former un pli dans un panneau composite. Une méthode de formation dun pli dans un panneau composite comprend la formation dune fente ayant une bride courbe, dans le panneau composite, linsertion dune feuille dans la bride courbe et le fait de plier le panneau composite avec la fente et la feuille, dans la bride courbe, autour dun axe longitudinal de la fente afin de former le pli.
