In the aerospace industry, the most advanced, reliable materials are necessary to ensure optimal safety, lifetime and strength in demanding applications.
Aerospace materials must be lightweight and suitable to allow for optimal aerodynamics; strong to ensure the safety of pilots and passengers and to withstand the physical forces of flying; and heat resistant to ensure structural changes are kept to a minimum during the sudden and extreme temperature fluctuations that occur at both high-speed and high-altitude flight.
Honeycomb — particularly, aluminum honeycomb — can effectively meet all of the above requirements.
