Abstract: A flow path duct system for a propulsion system of an aircraft includes a base defining a flow surface. The base has an internal surface and an external surface. A plurality of perforations are formed through the base between the internal surface and the external surface. A plurality of supports define a plurality of cavities. The plurality of supports extend outwardly from the external surface of the of the base. One or more of the plurality of cavities are in fluid communication with the one or more of the plurality of perforations. A backing surface is secured to the plurality of supports. The plurality of supports are disposed between the base and the backing surface. The one or more of the plurality of cavities are in fluid communication with an internal volume defined by the internal surface of the base through the one or more of the plurality of perforations. The base, the plurality of supports, and the backing surface can be integrally formed together as a monolithic, load-bearing structure.

Abstract: A seal assembly includes a seal body having a seal bottom surface and a plurality of seal cavities spaced along a lengthwise direction of the seal body. The seal cavities are each open to the seal bottom surface via a respective cavity opening. The seal assembly further includes a plurality of locking rings configured to be captured respectively within a corresponding plurality of the seal cavities. Each one of the locking rings includes a ring body having a ring inner perimeter that is externally accessible via the cavity opening when the locking ring is captured within one of the seal cavities. The ring inner perimeter is configured to engage a locking ring engagement portion of a fastener head of a seal-engaging fastener installed in a structure.
