Good morning,
I'm wondering whether you have any information or data regarding the cell geometry of your honeycomb cores, both Nomex and Aluminium?
In particular, are they regular hexagons in shape (all sides the same length) and is the cell size measured from one flat side to the opposing flat side, rather than corder to corner or some other measurement?
Are there any variations in this in the Nomex and Aluminium you stock, or are they all the same?
Thanks for your help.
