Is anybody familiar with these rivetless nutplates that seem to have good application in composite structures?

Hello community,
I wanted to know how electric actuators in light aircraft stops the rotation of the control surface to the motion limit +/- deg. Are actuators including an integrated stop system (electronic or mechanical)? Or this stopping feature has to be integrated into the airframe...
New in the composite airframe design. I was given a stack up of plies from Stress analysis group based on sizing criteria. Stack up looks symmetric and balanced. But I was asked to validate from a design point of view optimizing weight and manufacturing constraints. What I'm supposed to do...
Hello,
How can I do a curved dimension in a CATDrawing. This is used in composite design, when a ply EOP dimension is required on a curved surface. Normally the value of the dimension has a curve hat to specify it's not a linear dimension.
Hello,
What is making an aircraft design more or less sensitive to CG location. I heard in the past that aircraft might me more CG sensitive than other aircraft, so CG might be quickly or no so quickly out of the envelope.
Hello,
Is it possible that when JP-8 or jet A-1 fuel is dumped during flight, cause damage to the paint and primer coatings. Thinking about military aircraft. I've seen F-16s refueling when the boom disengage the port, sometimes fuel is leaked over the fuselage. But if there is a need to dump...
