The development of the sandwich (graphite/epoxy laminate as face sheet and the Nomex honeycomb as the core material) construction design concepts in the Beech Starship all-composite airplane is presented. Examples of the sandwich construction applications throughout the airframe (main wing, forward wing, pressure cabin, vertical stabilizer and the control surfaces) are given. This paper also describes the qualification and certification testing program of the honeycomb structure and the test results are discussed.
