Seal plates are typically mounted over stringer-receiving openings in aircraft ribs. A sealing tool for sealing a stringer-receiving opening in an aircraft rib is disclosed. The sealing tool includes a seal member arranged to seal a gap formed by the opening between the stringer and the rib. An intermediate member is configured to be adjustably mounted on the rib. The adjustable member receives and aligns the seal member over the gap.

An electronics system for an aircraft includes a mounting structure and a plate element mounted to the mounting structure with opposing face surfaces, a central region and side edge regions. A serpentine passage in the plate element contains alternating liquid slugs and vapor plugs along its length. The plate element is configured for gathering heat proximate the central region and moving the heat to the side edge regions. An electronic system is mounted on a face surface of the plate element and a heat dissipating structure is thermally coupled with the plate element and positioned along the side edge regions thereof for dissipating heat moved to the side edge regions. A cover structure covers the plate element and electronic system.

An aircraft fairing includes a fairing body having an exterior fairing wall and at least one wheel bin. The at least one wheel bin has a side wall extending from an opening in the exterior fairing wall to an end wall. The side wall and the end wall define a cavity of the at least one wheel bin in fluid communication with the opening in the exterior fairing wall. An acoustic resonator is mounted to an outer surface of the side wall of the at least one wheel bin and is in fluid communication with the cavity. The acoustic resonator has a resonant frequency substantially similar to a cavity modal frequency of the at least one wheel bin at an aircraft flight condition.
