Abstract

The present disclosure concerns a method for manufacturing a composite panel including a cellular central core interposed between two skins. The manufacturing method includes the steps of manufacture of an element with a cellular structure comprising a cellular core structure interposed between two layers of structural plies intended to form the skins, positioning of the element with a cellular structure within a mold, formation of drains on either side of the cellular core structure, infusion of the element with a cellular structure so as to impregnate it with a resin, carrying out a draining of the resin through the drains in the element with a cellular structure during the infusion step, the drains having a geometry configured to provide draining, and polymerization of the impregnated element with a cellular structure to form the composite panel.
