Abstract: A vibration isolation system for attenuating vibration energy between two aircraft structures, such as between the aircraft's fuselage and interior cabin. The vibration isolation system includes a first isolator attached to the first structure, a second isolator attached to the second structure, and an intermediate mass attached between the first and second isolators. The intermediate mass may be electrical cables, wiring bundles, a cable holder, or other component disposed between the two structures. Cable holder intermediate masses can be fabricated from an electrically conductive material to provide electromagnetic interference shielding for cables disposed therein. Multiple vibration isolation systems can be disposed between the fuselage and interior cabin to provide a less noisy cabin. Additional noise and vibration suppressors, such as skin damping material and acoustic blankets, also can be disposed between the fuselage and interior cabin to further reduce noise in the interior cabin.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of bonded wing construction in which skins (35, 39) having shaped protrusions (37, 41) are bonded to rib members having correspondingly shaped intrusions (33). The skins may also include differently shaped protrusions (53, 55) which are bonded to K-shaped spars (51) having correspondingly shaped intrusions (61, 63).
