The main structural component of the SR.N4 (British Hovercraft Corporation) according to Powis (1973) is a large sandwich panel 40 m long, 23 m wide and about 1 m thick. The top and bottom skins of this sandwich panel are made of 2 5 mx 1 25 mx 37 mm sandwich panels which are bolted to an egg-box structure made from aluminium shear web with bonded stiffeners. The skin panels are of 6 4 mm and 3 2 mm cell aluminium honeycomb made from foil 0-05-0-076 mm thick. The higher density core is used in the more highly stressed areas. The superstructure of the craft is composed of two vertical beams running fore and aft, which are fabricated from this aluminium sheet with bonded stiffeners. The roof is one unsupported span between...
