SUMMARY
A flexural bending test is insufficient for fully determining the structural integrity of a pre-preg honeycomb sandwich panel with carbon phenolic face sheets and an aluminum core, especially for critical applications such as in fighter jets. The required testing data varies significantly based on the intended use of the panel. For structural components in high-stakes environments, comprehensive testing beyond flexural bending is essential.
