The honeycomb sandwich [margin title]. The core of the sandwich is the honeycomb, a structure composed of row upon row of framed cells, or holes, resembling the honey-storage facility of a beehive. To each side of the core are bonded extremely thin sheets of metal, creating the sandwich, which is far lighter yet has greater resistance to bending than a comparable thickness of metal plate.... Sandwich construction is a major part of aerospace manufacturing.... 1, record 1, English, - honeycomb%20sandwich

Sandwich : (Technologie) Matériau composite constitué d'une âme très légère comprise entre deux plaques de matériau résistant. (On dit aussi «matériau sandwich».) Les matériaux sandwichs présentent l'avantage de fournir, à égalité de poids, une rigidité nettement supérieure à celle des matériaux traditionnels. Les âmes peuvent être de natures très diverses : bois, mousses organiques, nid d'abeilles métallique. [...] Ces matériaux ont trouvé de larges applications dans les industries aéronautique et spatiale, et dans le bâtiment. 5, record 1, French, - sandwich%20en%20nid%20d%27abeilles

Fabrication of sandwich panels.... Core Materials. Many lightweight materials, such as balsa wood, rubber or plastic foams, and formed sheets of cloth, metal, or paper, have been used as core for sandwich construction. Cores of formed sheet materials are often called honeycomb cores. By varying the sheet material, sheet thickness, cell size, and cell shape, cores of a wide range in density can be produced. 3, record 3, English, - honey%2Dcomb%20material
