ABSTRACT:
A quick seal system is used to seal between an aircraft frame and a transparency, such as a canopy, a windshield, or a window. The system includes a fairing seal and a pressure seal. The fairing seal seals between the outer surface of the canopy and the fairing, while the pressure seal seals between the inner surface of the canopy and the aircraft frame. The pressure seal is an elongated strip of material, having an area of increased thickness to provide an increase sealing pressure. The fairing seal is also an elongated strip of material. The fairing seal is generally triangular, having a top surface, an inner surface, and an outer surface. The inner surface abuts the outer surface of the canopy. A pair of extensions form a longitudinal slot on the outer surface of the fairing seal. The upper edge of the fairing is secured in the slot with an adhesive. If desired, the fairing seal and the adhesive may be electrically conductive.
