Abstract

An air cargo pallet having a central panel formed from a multilayer sandwich, the central panel comprising a foam core disposed on an upper skin layer having a resin and fiber combination and having a resin and fiber combination between the lower skin layers. The center panel is reinforced by additional fibers extending through the lower skin layer, foam core and upper skin layer. A tie layer is disposed around the periphery of the foam core and bonded between the upper and lower skin layers to complete the center panel. The pallet is then formed by snap fitting a plurality of rails around the perimeter of the central panel by connecting to the tie 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...
