Abstract
Systems and methods for repairing corrosion damage of a part of a thrust reverser assembly. The method includes removing the part having an inner surface and an outer surface. The method also includes removing an outer skin from the inner surface and the outer surface of the part. The method further includes installing a ply of synthetic fiber material onto an area of the inner surface or the outer surface of the part. The method also includes installing one or more doublers onto the ply of synthetic fiber material and heat curing layers of film adhesive. The method further includes applying an edge seal to gaps between the one or more doublers and the inner surface or outer surface of the part. The method also includes installing the outer skin to the inner surface and the outer surface of the part and installing the part to the thrust reverser assembly.
