Aircraft Structural Panel
Item Name Code (INC) 35987
 |
A preformed item of various shapes, and contours, which may have a sandwich or honeycomb core bonded to a metallic or nonmetallic facing material. It is used to enclose integral portions of the fuselage or to form partitions or sections within a wing, empennage, fuselage, nacelle or crew compartment. It may have mounting provisions such as predrilled holes to facilitate installation, but will have no items attached to it except bracket (s) or other securing devices to accommodate its own mounting or support. It may be mounted by means of fasteners, bonding or welding.

Additional Information for Aircraft Structural Panel
Aircraft structural panels are components used in the construction of an aircraft's airframe. They are part of the supply class called Airframe Structural Components, which falls under the supply group Aerospace Craft And Structural Components.
These panels are typically made from materials such as aluminum, composite materials, or titanium, depending on the specific requirements of the aircraft. They are designed to provide structural integrity and support to the aircraft's fuselage, wings, and other critical areas.
Aircraft structural panels are responsible for distributing loads and stresses throughout the airframe, ensuring that the aircraft remains strong and stable during flight. They are often subjected to rigorous testing and certification processes to ensure their reliability and safety.
These panels can come in various shapes and sizes, depending on their specific application within the aircraft. They may include wing skins, fuselage panels, floor panels, bulkheads, and other structural components.
Overall, aircraft structural panels play a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity and safety of an aircraft, making them essential components in the aerospace industry.
