Forming Machined Integrally Stiffened Wing Skin Panels. Volume 1

Abstract

The following report describes an investigation conducted by Lockheed Aircraft Corporation for the purpose of developing production techniques for forming the contours of machined Integrally Stiffened Wing Skin Panels. It was found that Upper and Lower Integrally Stiffened Panels could be formed to precision contours by means of stretch forming. Leading Edge Integrally Stiffened Panels were contoured by combination stretch and compression forming. The success of both methods was dependent upon the development of specialized tooling and techniques.
