  • Patent number: 11214374
    Abstract: Aircraft, vibration isolation assemblies, and methods of assembling vibration isolation assemblies are provided. An aircraft includes a vibration isolation assembly. The vibration isolation assembly includes a mounting track, a plate, a clamp block, a vibration isolator, and a support fitting. The mounting track defines a cavity and includes flanges that define an opening to the cavity. The plate is configured to be positioned on the flanges outside of the cavity. The clamp block is configured to be fastened to the plate under the flanges of the mounting track within the cavity. The vibration isolator is configured to be laterally constrained by the clamp block within the cavity. The support fitting is configured to be secured to the vibration isolator outside of the cavity.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9845144
    Abstract: Aircraft, wing-to-body fairing assemblies, and air exchange systems are provided. An aircraft includes a fuselage, a wing secured to the fuselage, an outer skin panel, and an air exchange system. The outer skin panel is secured to the wing and/or the fuselage and at least partially defines a cavity. The air exchange system is secured to the outer skin panel and exchanges air between the cavity and an external environment. The air exchange system includes an air inlet, a diffuser, and a silencer. The air inlet is disposed in the outer skin panel and accommodates an air flow between the cavity and the external environment. The diffuser is attached to the air inlet and has a varying cross sectional area to change the speed of the air flow. The silencer is attached to the diffuser and communicates the air flow between the diffuser and the cavity and reduces noise.

  • Publication number: 20160083098
    Abstract: Aircraft, vibration isolation assemblies, and methods of assembling vibration isolation assemblies are provided. An aircraft includes a fuselage, a mounted component disposed within the fuselage, and a vibration isolation assembly disposed within the fuselage and mounting the mounted component to the fuselage. The vibration isolation assembly includes a mounting track, an inner member, a support fitting, and an elastomer. The mounting track defines a cavity and an opening. The inner member has a post and a flange, where the flange is disposed in the cavity. The support fitting is secured to the post and the mounted component. The elastomer is disposed between the flange and the mounting track within the cavity.
