Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a system for an aircraft. The system includes a rail having a bottom surface, and a first and a second sidewall extending from the bottom surface. The first sidewall, the second sidewall, and the bottom surface define a channel. The rail also includes blind holes, located in the bottom surface. The system also includes spacers, each comprising a stem and a top portion, extending substantially perpendicular to the stem. The stem of each of the spacers is configured to be positioned in a respective one of the blind holes such that a longitudinal axis of the top portion of each of the spacers is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the channel. The system also includes a structural component, a portion of which is configured to be positioned into the channel such that the structural component rests on the top portion of each of the spacers.
