Technological excellence in honeycomb sandwich and composite structures for aerospace applications
Abstract
The advantages provided by the honeycomb sandwich and composite structures developed for aerospace applications are discussed. Comparative properties of various composite materials (fibers, resin matrices, cured composites, and metallic aircraft materials) are described together with classes of composite materials used for aircraft application and the composite components in service. Special attention is given to a development program for the honeycomb and composite materials technology.
