Abstract
A honeycomb structure including a first external side, a second external side, and an anti-friction agent buffer for receiving an anti-friction agent.

This honeycomb structure may be useful in an aircraft as part of a belly-landing system for the aircraft.
Claims13
A honeycomb structure comprising:
- a first external side,
- a second external side, and
- an anti-friction agent buffer for receiving an anti-friction agent,
- wherein an opening to an anti-friction agent inlet and an opening to an air outlet are present on the first external side,
- wherein the honeycomb structure on the second external side has at least one perforation,
- wherein the at least one perforation in a normal state is in a closed state, and
- wherein the at least one perforation, by overpressure in the anti-friction agent buffer, is caused to be brought to an opened state so that the anti-friction agent is transferred from the anti-friction agent buffer through the at least one perforation onto the second external side.
