Basic metal-sparred wing using a honeycomb 'D' box leading edge. A typical metal spar in a general aviation aircraft usually consists of a sheet aluminium spar web, with L- or T-shaped spar caps being welded or riveted to the top and bottom of the sheet to prevent buckling under applied loads.
Collection of control yokes at Boeing Future of Flight Museum: 747, 707, B-29, Trimotor.The former two yokes are W-shaped, while the latter two are circular. The cockpit of Concorde, which has an M-shaped yoke mounted on a control column The cockpit of an Embraer ERJ with an M-shaped yoke "W"/"U" style yoke in a Cessna 152 light aircraft, mounted on a horizontal tube protruding from the ...
The Voronoi cell of the E 7 * lattice is the 1 32 polytope, and voronoi tessellation the 1 33 honeycomb. [3] The E 7 * lattice is constructed by 2 copies of the E 7 lattice vertices, one from each long branch of the Coxeter diagram, and can be constructed as the union of four A 7 * lattices, also called A 7 4 :
The rear of the aircraft had twin all-moving stabilators of aluminum over a honeycomb core, and twin vertical stabilizers of a conventional construction. Like the wings, the leading and trailing edges were constructed of composite facesheets over honeycomb core. A composite speedbrake was located on top of the fuselage between the engines. [3]
A honeycomb-shaped structure provides a material with minimal density and relative high out-of-plane compression properties and out-of-plane shear properties. [1] Man-made honeycomb structural materials are commonly made by layering a honeycomb material between two thin layers that provide strength in tension. This forms a plate-like assembly.
Cockpit controls and instrument panel of a Cessna 182D Skylane. Generally, the primary cockpit flight controls are arranged as follows: [2] A control yoke (also known as a control column), centre stick or side-stick (the latter two also colloquially known as a control or joystick), governs the aircraft's roll and pitch by moving the ailerons (or activating wing warping on some very early ...

This A-10 took heavy damage during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003, including to the hydraulic system, and pilot Captain Kim Campbell safely flew it back to base on manual reversion mode. The cockpit and parts of the flight-control systems are protected by 1,200 lb (540 kg) of titanium aircraft armor, referred to as a "bathtub".
