  • Patent number: 6454276
    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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 16, 1999
    Date of Patent: September 24, 2002
    Assignee: The Boeing Company
    Inventors: Patrick W. Gaines, Mickey A. Williamson
