A fiber-reinforced thermoplastic laminate is disclosed that comprises continuous reinforcing fiber. The laminate is custom designed and fabricated to be molded into a specific article of manufacture. The laminate comprises a plurality of thermoplastic patches that are disjoint and some of which partially overlap.

Provided is a method for manufacturing a fiber reinforced resin molded article capable of effectively increasing the strength of a fiber reinforced resin molded article, such as a high-pressure tank, and such a manufacturing device thereof. With use of a cutting core that is heated to a higher temperature than a mold, the curing of a portion of resin (thermosetting resin) to be cut in a runner is facilitated, and the portion of the resin to be cut in the runner is cut by the cutting core. The heating temperature of the cutting core is higher than the temperature of the mold and lower than the heating temperature in an aftercure step performed after removing the high-pressure tank from the mold.

A gasket is disclosed for use as an environmental seal between a first aircraft part having planer surface and a second aircraft part having a planer surface, the two planer parts spread apart and engaged with fasteners. The gasket, in some embodiments, is compressible between the planer surfaces.
