Abstract

A forming tool with a predefined mold portion is provided in a method for producing a reinforced fiber composite component for aviation and aerospace. A forming/support element is molded by means of the mold portion of the forming tool. A semi-finished fiber product is then deposited at least in portions on the shaped forming/support element. The deposited semi-finished fiber product is deformed by means of the forming/support element to form at least one reinforcing portion. The forming/support element is then removed from the forming tool together with the reinforcing section formed on this element, followed by defined positioning of the reinforcing section thus formed with respect to an associated fiber composite component portion by supporting with the forming/support element. The reinforcing portion is cured to form the reinforced fiber composite component. A forming device is provided with a predefined mold portion which holds a forming/support element such that it can be removed.
