Thermoplastic bonding process for acoustically treated linear facesheets

Abstract:

A sandwich acoustic liner assembly includes a honeycomb core and a thermoplastic fabric sheet positioned in overlying relationship and structurally bonded with the honeycomb core. Further included is a method for fabricating a sandwich acoustic liner assembly which includes the steps of positioning a thermoplastic fabric sheet in overlying relationship with a honeycomb core and bonding structurally the thermoplastic fabric sheet to the honeycomb core.
