Abstract

A panel of composite material, in particular with a thermosetting or thermoplastic matrix, with edges and/or external surface protected from shocks and erosion, for any streamlining element for housings or nacelles of aeronautical motors, comprises, over all or a portion of its edges, a cladding which forms a border overlapping the two opposite surfaces of the panel. The border comprises a metallic cloth connected to the structure of the panel by an adhesive agent, diffused through the cloth. The panel is particularly applicable to aircraft.
