Abstract

An air cargo pallet with a central panel created from a plurality of sandwiched layers, including a foam core disposed between an upper skin layer having a resin and fiber combination and a lower skin layer having a resin and fiber combination. The central panel is reinforced with additional fibers extending through the lower skin layer, the foam core and the upper skin layer. An interface layer is disposed around the periphery of the foam core and bonded between the upper skin layer and the lower skin layer to complete the central panel. The pallet is then formed by snap fitting a plurality of rails around the circumference of the central panel by connection to the interface layer.

Description

[0001] priority [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 710,802, filed October 8, 2012, and U.S. Nonprovisional Application No. 13 / 795,604, filed March 12, 2013, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference way is incorporated into the present invention. technical field [0003] The present application relates to cargo pallets, and in particular to cargo pallets and container bases made of composite panels with metal rails, thereby improving the efficiency of use in weight-sensitive applications such as cargo transportation by aircraft. ) for durability and stiffness used. Background technique [0004] Air cargo is usually transported in containers ("unit loads") or on pallets combined with netting, which are stored in the hold below the deck of a passenger aircraft or below and above the deck of a transport aircraft in the cargo compartment. The size and shape of the pallet varies according to the type of a...
