  • Patent number: 6719293
    Abstract: A corrosion resistant gasket for aircraft, and more particularly to encapsulation of a conductive mesh in a pliable fluorosilicone compound that will not become bonded to mating surfaces and will also migrate upon compression during installation to the threads of attaching hardware utilized between the instrument, antenna, and aircraft structure, thereby reducing corrosion through the attaching hardware, by providing a hermetic seal around the periphery of the envelope of the attached device. In addition, a flexible seal comprising a fluorosilicone, a silicone, and silica is disclosed. The flexible seal provides a fluid-resistant barrier and is readily installed and removed from electrical and/or mechanical components in conjunction with the use of a conductive corrosion resistant gasket described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,791,654.

  • Patent number: 6578667
    Abstract: An access platform comprising a series of stackable polyurethane foam block assemblies that when properly secured to each other creates a set of steps and handholds similar to a ladder. At the top of the platform a maintenance person can stand on a nonskid surface and perform the work needed at any required height. The ladder is radially curved to fit between the thrust reverser sleeve (deployed) and the inner fan duct wall. This radial diameter between the GE, Rolls Royce and Pratt Whitney engines varies within inches. The main access blocks of the access platform can be used on all three engines by using different foam wedges and wall blocks to secure the assembly tightly in place. Over 70% of the blocks are useable on all three engine types, thus reducing the number of overall parts required.
