A liner for an aircraft comprises a sheet of material having a plurality of standoffs integral with the liner sheet that extend in opposite directions from the plane defined by the liner sheet. Standoffs extending in one direction comprise an end portion for accommodating placement against the inside surfaca of the fuselage skin. Standoffs extending in an opposite direction have a generally planer end portion to accommodate the placement of an insulation blanket thereon. The liner comprises a matrix of both types of standoffs uniformly distributed throughout the liner sheet. A plurality of openings are through the sheet between the standoffs. The standoffs extend a predetermined distance from the plane of the liner sheet to provide a predetermined amount of separation between the inside surface of the skin and insulation blanket. The openings provide a fluid flow path for condensate formed at the blanket side of the liner to flow downwardly from the blankets along the inside surface of the skin down to the bilge of the aircraft where it is removed.
A resilient liner for use in an aircraft positioned between an inside surface of a fuselage skin and thermal insulation, the resilient liner comprising:
A resilient liner for use in an aircraft fuselage, the liner being positioned between an inside surface of a fuselage skin and a thermal insulation blanket, the liner being formed from a sheet of polymeric material, the liner comprising:
A resilient liner for use within a fuselage compartment of an aircraft between an inside surface of a fuselage skin and a thermal insulation blanket, the liner is formed from a sheet of material comprising a plurality of standoffs extending away from a plane defined by the sheet a predetermined distance that corresponds to a predetermined amount of separation between the skin and the blanket, the standoffs being integral to the sheet and formed from portions of the sheet deformed away from the plane, the standoffs being separated from the sheet by a plurality of openings, wherein each opening extends between a first standoff that projects from the plane in one direction to an adjacent second standoff that projects from the plane in a direction opposite from the first standoff.
A resilient liner for use in an aircraft, wherein the liner is positioned between an inside surface of a fuselage skin and thermal insulation, the resilient liner comprising:
