RADOME SANDWICH PANEL STRUCTURAL JOINT

摘要

A radome includes first and second panels disposed adjacent to each other and a fastener. Each panel of the first and second panels includes a core material disposed between first and second skin layers. The core of the first panel abuts the core of the second panel at respective edges. A first skin layer of the first panel extends past the edge of the first panel and overlaps a thinned portion of the second panel defined contiguous with the edge of the second panel. A first opening defined through the first skin layer of the first panel is in alignment with a second opening defined through the thinned portion of the second panel. The fastener extends through the first and second openings to secure the first panel to the second panel.
