The main fuselage cover consists of glass fibre, carbon fibre
and aramid laminate. The bottom fuselage cover is made of
carbon fibre and aramid fibre laminate, the cuffs of carbon
fibre laminate. The lower rear part of the fuselage is covered

fairing consists of glas fibre laminate and the tail side skins
are made of aluminium sheet metal. The layer sequences of
the composite parts are shown in Figures 2-6.
All composite parts, as protection against moisture and UV
