Method and device for producing large cylindrical structures

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing large cylindrical structures or large cylindrical molded parts (F), in particular fuselage parts for aircraft manufacture made of fiber-reinforced plastic, wherein fibers, preferably semi-finished fiber materials (4), and a curable plastic mass (5) are introduced into a molding space (3) between an inner cylindrical mold (1) and an outer cylindrical mold (2) and then cured. Said method is characterized in that the inner cylindrical mold (1) is made up of a plurality of inner segments (1a) distributed about the circumference, and the outer cylindrical mold (2) is made up of a plurality of outer segments (2a) distributed about the circumference, and that the outer segments (2a) are braced against the inner mold (1) by means of one or more tension cables (8) which are wound about the outer segments (2), interposing the fibers or semi-finished fiber material (4).
