    Abstract: Systems and methods for leak detection of aircraft doors. One embodiment is an apparatus for leak testing a seal between an aircraft door and a fuselage of an aircraft. The apparatus includes a structural frame that includes a suction cup configured to suction an outer surface of the aircraft door. The structural frame further includes legs to extend in length to push the structural frame away from the fuselage and cause the suction cup to pull the aircraft door toward an outside of the aircraft to tighten the seal between the aircraft door and the fuselage of the aircraft.
