A close-up of the honeycomb core material shows how it provides strength while weighing hardly anything at all. The honeycomb on the right is called "over-expanded Nomex hex" and is great for making parts that are not flat because it can be easily shaped. The pieces in the middle and right are different thicknesses of aluminum honeycomb core, which is relatively rigid and often used in monocoques to add strength and for crash resistance.
