HexWeb® Acousti-CAP®

Product catalog summary
Introduction
HexWeb® Acousti-CAP® is a broadband sound-reducing honeycomb developed by Hexcel, designed to enhance acoustical performance in aircraft engines. It significantly reduces noise during takeoff and landing without adding structural weight, addressing the traditional trade-off between weight and noise reduction.
Specifications
The Acousti-CAP® consists of a non-metallic permeable cap material embedded into a honeycomb core, forming an acoustic septum. Customers can specify flow resistance characteristics, core thickness, number of caps per cell, and insertion depth, allowing customization to meet specific acoustic requirements.
Product Variants
An aluminum version of Acousti-CAP® is available, offering similar noise reduction with added cost benefits. It can withstand temperatures up to 175°C/350°F and is compatible with standard industry fabrication techniques.
Benefits
  • Lower landing fees at airports, providing recurring savings.
  • Increased fleet flexibility.
  • Improved cabin comfort.
  • Reduction in other acoustic treatments, leading to lower weight and cost.
Applications
Acousti-CAP® can be integrated into various engine components such as the inner wall assembly, thrust reverser, outer sleeve assembly, aft cowl skin assembly, and inlet cowl.
Technology
Hexcel's innovative seaming technology ensures a "spliceless" part, enhancing structural integrity.
Hexcel Product Family
Hexcel offers a wide range of composite materials for aerospace and other industries, including carbon fiber, reinforcement fabrics, prepregs, RTM materials, composite tooling material, structural film adhesives, honeycomb cores, and engineered cores.
