SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR AERODYNAMICALLY SEALING SURFACES

摘要

A system (100) includes a first surface (310), a second surface, and a sealing system (110) operable to provide an aerodynamic seal between the first surface and the second surface. The second surface may be a surface to be sealed (300). The sealing system includes a first member (110) and a base (120). The first member includes a first portion and a bulb (130) coupled to the first portion. The first portion has one or more projections (150) and is adapted to couple the first member to the first surface. The base includes a plurality of feet (160), a plurality of arms (180), and an arched portion (170). The plurality of feet are adapted to be positioned against the second surface. The plurality of arms are adapted to accept the bulb. The arched portion forms a preloaded seal adapted to seal against the second surface when air pressure is exerted against a side of the base.
