Abstract

A honeycomb panel having a honeycomb core interposed between two face plates, and inserts which are exposed to an opening formed through the panel. A desired member is bonded to the panel through the inserts and the face plates which are bonded together. The inserts are disposed in selected honeycomb cells of the honeycomb core when the honeycomb core is assembled with the face plates, or the inserts are inserted into the selected honeycomb cells which are open to the opening or a preliminary hole formed before the opening is cut. Alternatively, the inserts are positioned relative to the face plates before the honeycomb core members are disposed relative to the inserts. The honeycomb panel may be produced by various methods disclosed.
