Examples include an apparatus for providing a point of attachment to a structural component, the apparatus including: a first grommet comprising: a head; and a shaft that extends from a first side of the head, where the shaft comprises a first attachment component opposite the head; a gasket bonded to a second side of the head that is opposite the first side, where the gasket, the head, and the shaft are aligned and a hole is formed through the gasket, the head, and the shaft; and a second grommet comprising a second attachment component that is configured to engage the first attachment component of the first grommet.

An acoustic panel is provided that includes a perforated first skin, a second skin and a corrugated structure. The corrugated structure is between and is connected to the perforated first skin and the second skin. The corrugated structure includes a first baffle, a first septum, first material and second material that is configured with the first material. The first baffle is formed by an uninterrupted portion of the first material. The first septum is formed by a portion of the second material that is exposed through an interruption in the first material.

A heat sink for use in induction welding includes a number of tiles, where the tiles are electrically non-conductive and thermally conductive, a joint flexibly joining the tiles together, and a fluid path formed through the heat sink for communicating a coolant therethrough.

An assembly forming an acoustic insulator having a first sheet, a pierced second sheet, and a plurality of first and second structures. Each first structure comprises a first and a second strip, wherein each is shaped to form half of the wall of a cage and wherein, for two successive halves, each strip comprises a facet of a joining wall. Each second structure is made up of a first and a second strip, wherein each is shaped to form half of the wall of a cone, wherein. For each strip, at least one of the wall halves of each cone is pierced. For two successive halves, each strip comprises one facet of the connecting wall. Each cone is located in a cell and each connecting wall is located between the two facets of a joining wall, and, between two adjacent first structures, a second structure is likewise fitted.

A retainer for a segmented annular heat shield of a wheel includes a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a body extending between the first end and the second end. Both the first end and the second end are configured to be coupled to at least one of the wheel and a torque bar. Further, the body includes opposing longitudinal sides configured to respectively engage and secure a respective heat shield segment of the segmented annular heat shield. Also, the retainer includes a cover coupled to and extending over at least the body, with an air gap being defined between the body and the cover.

A finished floor assembly covers a floor area of an aircraft and includes a subfloor, a padding assembly, and a finish flooring layer. Noise radiates from the subfloor due to vibrations transmitted by an aircraft structure. The padding assembly attenuates the noise and includes a first pad layer, a second pad layer, and a plurality of discontinuous couplings. The first pad layer abuts the subfloor. The second pad layer is adjacent to the first pad layer. The plurality of discontinuous couplings are laterally separated from each other along the floor area by void portions. The discontinuous couplings secure the first pad layer to the second pad layer and the first pad layer and the second pad layer are in contact at the void portions. The finish flooring layer disposed overtop the padding assembly.

A heat shield for an aircraft. The heat shield comprises a lower skin configured to be exposed to exhaust heat of a jet engine, and side skins that are indirectly joined to the lower skin.
