- Applications
The HexWeb® Nonmetallic Flex-Core® cell configuration as opposed to the standard hexagonal cell honeycomb provides for exceptional formability into compound curvatures with reduced anticlastic curvature and controlled buckling of the cell wells. When formed into tight radii, HexWeb® Nonmetallic Flex-Core® provides higher shear strengths than comparable hexagonal cores of equivalent density. HexWeb® Nonmetallic Flex-Core® applications exist whenever extreme curvature dictates a flexible cell geometry, e.g. radomes, ducts, leading edges of wings and stabilizers.
