摘要：A composite skin and composite stiffeners are co-cured in an autoclave. Uncured stiffeners are placed in channels of a tool, and an uncured skin is placed on the tool contacting the stiffeners. The vacuum bag is sealed over the tool. Bladders placed in the stiffeners are exposed to autoclave pressure through a manifold system employing vent tubes that pass through the vacuum bag along a side of the tool.

主权项：1. A method of co-curing composite stiffeners and a skin within an autoclave, comprising: placing uncured stiffeners on a tool; placing bladders respectively in the uncured stiffeners; placing an uncured skin over the tool and in contact with the stiffeners; coupling the bladders with a manifold; sealing a bag over the tool and the manifold; venting the manifold to autoclave pressure through the bag; and pressurizing the bladders using autoclave pressure through the manifold.
