  • Aircraft construction protection apparatus
    Patent number: 10780993
    Abstract: A protection apparatus employed in the construction of aircraft can be collapsed to a small configuration to enable insertion of the apparatus to access openings in a structure of the aircraft, for example an access opening in a wing of the aircraft, to position the protection apparatus inside the aircraft structure. Once inside the aircraft structure, the protection apparatus can be expanded from its collapsed configuration and positioned over components in the aircraft structure, for example hydraulic tubing or electric wiring, to protect those components from damage by a worker working in the aircraft structure above the components.
