Abstract: This paper studied a mould project, and the mould was made to manufacture a composite air rudder by RTM process. The air rudder was prepared with a skin/rudder core structure, for which the skin was composite, and the rudder core was metal. By analyze the air rudder, the mould was designed to be a fission mould. To solve those problems such as how to position the air rudder core with the skin and mould-assembling mechanism, a new RTM mould has been designed in the paper, which contains optimized location mechanism and mould-assembling mechanism. Then, modal analysis was done to obtain the most reasonable injections and outlets. When a injection was set up in the surface of the skin, this mould project can avoid the phenomenon of lack of resin. An air rudder was manufactured with preferbly boundary dimension. By those works, this paper provides a mould project and fulfils the integrated manufacture of the air rudder.
