Abstract
In the manufacture of a noise attenuation panel for an aeroengine nacelle an adhesive film is applied to a front face of a cellular component of the panel. The adhesive film is caused to reticulate to the ends of the walls of the cells at the front face of the cellular component. A perforate facing component of the panel is bonded to the front face of the cellular component by adhesive flow from the cell walls to the facing component. To avoid unpredictable adhesive flow giving rise to cosmetic spots on the front face of the facing component the two components are brought together with the interposition of an adhesive flow control sheet and the reticulated adhesive caused to bond the two components together by adhesive flow under the control of the adhesive flow control sheet.
