Abstract
The object of the invention is a process for the production of a monolithic composite panel provided to be articulated on a support, particularly a panel articulated by hinges (36) for the production of a fan hatch of a turbo reactor or of a landing gear door in an aircraft, the panel comprising openings for the emplacement of elements (24, 26, 28) of service such as access doors, ports and/or ventilating grilles, characterized in that it consists in providing a network of beams (54, 56) as a function of the openings, avoiding the emplacements of the service elements, shaped and positioned for taking up the transmission of forces particularly between the articulation device and the panel. The invention also covers the panel obtained and the hatch particularly for use in an aircraft.
