Factors to test

• Core Material

  • Aluminum Honeycomb

  • Nomex Honeycomb

• Face sheet materials

  • 4 ply either side, should we use Kevlar or Fiberglass for inner layer (galvanic)

  • In areas 500mm from driver, do we want to add more layers when adding the Kevlar or remove some layers

• Adhesive

  • Co-bond using West Systems

  • Co-bond using Lam 127

  • Secondary bond using West Systems

  • Secondary bond using Lam 127

  • Secondary bond using Araldite

  • Secondary bond using paste epoxy

• Filler materials

  • This would be for secondary bond epoxies, especially paste epoxies, in order to get ideal bond thickness (4-8 thou)

  • This has the potential to strengthen our panels but I have no data to back this up and it would have to be completely empirical
