  • Publication number: 20250174883
    Abstract: Radome structures comprising a structural layer comprising a fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite including a fiber reinforcement and a thermoplastic resin. In addition, one or more RF matching layers may be disposed on at least one side of the structural layer. The RF matching layer comprising a first dielectric constant value that is lower than that a dielectric constant value of the structural layer. In this regard, the RF matching layer may provide smaller discrete changes in dielectric constant through a thickness of the radome to provide enhanced RF performance. In an example, a resin content of the thermoplastic resin of the fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite is not fewer than 25 weight percent and not more than about 60 weight percent, which provides enhanced RF performance relative to structural performance of the radome. In turn, manufacturing cost and complexity may be reduced by use of the thermoplastic materials as described herein.

  • Patent number: 11715450
    Abstract: An acoustic panel is provided that includes a perforated first skin, a second skin and a core. The core is connected to the perforated first skin and the second skin. The core includes a plurality of chambers and a plurality of septums respectively arranged with the chambers. The chambers include a first chamber that extends vertically between the perforated first skin and the second skin. The septums include a first septum that extends laterally across the first chamber. The first septum includes a first septum orifice. The first septum tapers laterally inward towards the first septum orifice as the first septum extends vertically towards the second skin.

  • Patent number: 11600255
    Abstract: An acoustic panel is provided that includes a perforated first skin, a second skin and a corrugated structure. The corrugated structure is between and is connected to the perforated first skin and the second skin. The corrugated structure includes a first baffle, a first septum, first material and second material that is configured with the first material. The first baffle is formed by an uninterrupted portion of the first material. The first septum is formed by a portion of the second material that is exposed through an interruption in the first material.
