Abstract: In an embodiment a tray includes a base area having a top side, a bottom side, a rear end, peripheral sides and a front end, a plurality of flanges extending upward from the top side and arranged at the rear end and the peripheral sides, a pin, bolt or stud arranged at an outside of a flange arranged at the rear end or a hole arranged in the flange at the rear end configured to receive a pin, bolt or stud, a first plurality of restraining rings arranged at a first side flange at the first peripheral side and a second plurality of restraining rings arranged at a second side flange at the second peripheral side.

Abstract: An interchangeable fairing system has a removeable fairing with a common mounting pattern for mounting onto an aircraft and aerodynamically coupling a fixed fairing structure with a fuselage structure. Different types of fairings having the common mounting pattern are interchangeable, allowing for swapping of the different fairings mounted to the aircraft.

Abstract: A method for providing an integrated antenna for an aircraft includes identifying a target antenna for an aircraft, identifying a target interior antenna location in the aircraft according to the target antenna, verifying antenna operation, at the target interior antenna location, of the target antenna, mounting the target antenna to a mounting plate, providing a replacement radio transmissive panel (RTP), and attaching the replacement RTP to the aircraft with an exterior surface of the replacement RTP substantially maintaining an outer mold line (OML) of the aircraft, the replacement RTP at least partially covering the target antenna and the mounting plate after the mounting plate is affixed to the aircraft in an antenna cavity associated with the target interior antenna location and after the target antenna is mounted to the mounting plate.

Abstract: The technology of this application is generally directed to a method for temporary installation of a third military transponder while maintaining an existing dual civil transponder architecture. In one example embodiment, coax relays are installed between one of the civil transponders, the corresponding antennas, and the military transponder. A switch is installed to drive the coax relays and determine which transponder (e.g., civil or military) is connected to the antennas. The circuit breaker of the transponder not being used at the time can be pulled and collared to remove power to the equipment, and a software configuration loader card is used to configure the avionics.
