• "La peau carbone est montée sur un châssis auto raidi ou composite..."
Here it is a question of a chassis as a support rack, but the "auto raidi" bothers me here. It sureley wouldn't be an automobile chassis, I assume, in an aeronautics factory... but would one say a "self stiffened" support rack... perverse, maybe, and not very logical to me : ) We're in the world of composite lamination and production of fuselage and tubes...doc for engineers.
thanks to anyone who knows for sure !

Selected
self-stiffened or composite chassis
I'm not selecting "high" confidence on this one because I'm not an engineer. However, I have found that "auto-raidi" is frequently translated as "self-stiffened" in patent applications". See for example http://ip.com/patapp/CA2487647A1 or http://www.wpburn.com/getpatent/fulltext/07464508/1724/. In both cases, the applicant is Airbus France!
As for "châssis", it is common to talk about an "aircraft/airplane chassis" in English. E.g. http://www.wipo.int/patentscope/search/en/WO2004053464
Hope this helps.

| Thanks so much, Michael. Yes, self-stiffened is used in several such contexts, I have found. Thanks for your well-documented answer! |
| Many thanks for the confirmation |
| Thanks for your confirmation, Didier! |
