HexWeb® Acousti-Cap®
Hexcel Corporation
JEC Innovative Award winning HexWeb® Acousti-Cap® enables aircraft engine designers to achieve superior acoustical performance, including dramatic noise reduction during takeoff and landing without a structural weight penalty. This marks an improvement on current technology which requires tradeoffs between weight and noise reduction.
HexWeb® Acousti-Cap® Non-Metallic consists of permeable cap material embedded into a honeycomb core to create an acoustic septum. Customers specify the flow resistance characteristics, overall core thickness, and number of caps in a cell and insertion depth. The result is a product tuned to their acoustic requirements.
