Partly filled honeycomb panel

摘要

A sandwich panel (10) includes a honeycomb core (12) of a plurality of cells (20). A first skin (14) is adhered to a first surface of the honeycomb core (12) with an adhesive. A second skin (16) is adhered to a second surface of the honeycomb core (12) with the adhesive. The plurality of cells (20) extends longitudinally between the first and second skins (14, 16). The first and second skins (14, 16) adhere to the honeycomb core (12) to form a sandwich panel (10) having a surface area of at least 2.25 square feet. A foam fill (18) is disposed within the cells (20) of the honeycomb core (12). The foam fill (18) and the honeycomb core (12) define a first gap region (22) proximate to the first skin (14) and a second gap region (22) proximate to the second skin (16).
