Claims22
A composite structure assembly, comprising:
- a composite core including a first cell layer having a plurality of first cells and a second cell layer having a plurality of second cells, wherein the first cell layer is adjacent to the second cell layer, and wherein the plurality of first cells are fluidly interconnected with the plurality of second cells;
- and
- a plurality of connecting beams that connect the first cell layer to the second cell layer.
A method of forming a composite structure assembly, the method comprising:
- forming a first cell layer having a plurality of first cells;
- forming a second cell layer having a plurality of second cells;
- and
- securing the first cell layer to the second cell layer to form a composite core, wherein the first cell layer is adjacent to the second cell layer, wherein the securing fluidly interconnects the plurality of first cells with the plurality of second cells, and wherein the securing comprises connecting the first cell layer to the second layer with a plurality of connecting beams.
