  • Repair of over-frame blanket assemblies in aircraft
    Patent number: 11433987
    Abstract: A method of repairing an over-frame blanket assembly in an aircraft includes identifying an aperture in an over-frame blanket piece having an exposed sound barrier layer. The method further includes cutting an acoustic barrier patch to a size that is larger than the aperture. The method includes adhering a sound barrier layer of the acoustic barrier patch to the exposed sound barrier layer of the over-frame blanket piece around the aperture to cover the aperture.
    Type: Grant

  • Over-frame blanket assemblies and methods of installation in fuselage assemblies
    Patent number: 10472043
    Abstract: Fuselage assemblies, over-frame blanket assemblies, and methods of installing over-frame blanket assemblies are provided. A fuselage assembly for an aircraft includes a fuselage skin, a cabin liner, and an over-frame blanket assembly. The cabin liner has an outer side facing the fuselage skin. The over-frame blanket assembly is disposed between the fuselage skin and the cabin liner and has a first blanket piece. The first blanket piece includes a first sound barrier layer that defines a first outer surface of the over-frame blanket assembly and a first sound absorbing layer that defines a second outer surface of the over-frame blanket assembly facing the fuselage skin. A method of installing the over-frame blanket assembly includes positioning the first blanket piece in an orientation such that the first sound barrier layer is directly adjacent the cabin liner.
