Abstract
A method and structure is disclosed herein for effecting repairs of ballistic damage in stressed aircraft structures, including bending of two thin manually deformable metal sheets each adhesively bonded to one part of a hook and pile fastening material, known as "Velcro", the bent and conformed patches once in place being impregnated with resin. Once the resin hardens the interlocked hook and pile surfaces are fixed, fixing the curvature and stiffness of the resulting patch.
