Bonded fasteners consist of two main components the adhesive itself and a substrate or material that forms the bond. The adhesive is carefully engineered to provide a strong, durable connection while accommodating various materials, including metals, plastics, and composites. During the bonding process, the adhesive is applied to the surfaces of the parts to be joined, and then the parts are pressed together. The adhesive cures over time, forming a solid bond that can often surpass the strength of mechanical fasteners.

One of the primary functions of drilling wing tip screws is to maintain the structural integrity of the wing during flight. The constant changes in altitude, speed, and temperature can cause the wing components to expand and contract, which could lead to fatigue and eventual failure if not properly secured. By using drilling wing tip screws, aircraft manufacturers can ensure that the wing remains rigid and stable, thereby enhancing the overall safety of the aircraft.
