Abstract

A process for the production of an aircraft panel made of double-curved composite material, with the panel being obtained from a three-dimensional preform that includes fibers that are distributed in a defined arrangement, includes manufacturing a flat fiber preform (22), and deforming the flat preform (22) in such a way as to produce the three-dimensional preform, with the fibers following suitable trajectories at the flat preform in such a way as to obtain the defined arrangement of the fibers after deformation.
