Results for tag: "Aircraft Sandwich Panel"

Aircraft sandwich panels are a type of composite material used in the construction of aircraft. They are composed of two thin, lightweight outer skins bonded to a lightweight core material. The core material is usually a foam or honeycomb structure, which provides strength and rigidity while keeping the overall weight of the panel low. The outer skins are typically made of aluminum or other metals, and provide protection from the elements. The combination of the lightweight core and the strong outer skins makes sandwich panels an ideal choice for aircraft construction. The use of sandwich panels in aircraft construction has been growing steadily in recent years, as they offer a number of advantages over traditional materials. They are lightweight, strong, and resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for use in aircraft. Additionally, they are relatively easy to manufacture, and can be customized to meet specific requirements. Companies in the aircraft sandwich panel market include Hexcel Corporation, Cytec Industries, Gurit, and Toray Industries. Show Less Read more
