Report on the Testing of Pallet-Cargo, Aircraft HCU-53/E (XA1) and Net Set - Cargo Tiedown Aircraft Pallet A/A28H-1(XA1) (Phase 1)

Abstract

Small samples of various core materials were tested in order to arrive at the best core construction, exclusive of balsa wood, for use in an 88- x 108-in. 463L logistic aircraft cargo platform. Only one core material, 1/8 in - .002 - 5056 aluminum alloy honeycomb, was judged to be suitable based on its performance in the core evaluation testing. All of the other core materials tested were unsuitable because of their failure in one or more of the series of tests. The paper honeycomb sample HP, for example, was unsuitable in regard to mandrel penetration resistance, fungus resistance, water migration resistance and teeter roller indentation.
