 | 737 Flame Arrestor Kit
Problem: AD issued in response to TWA 800 incident. Boeing was listed as the OEM solution; this was the only solution and it was extremely expensive.
Solution: Developed flame arrestor kit and successfully installed it on over 500 aircraft at an average savings of $10,000 (33%) per kit.

 | Automatic Toilet Fill Shutoff Valve
Problem: Mechanics overfill lavatory causing corrosive chemicals to leak throughout the cabin and onto sensitive flight-critical electronics.
Solution: Seal Dynamics developed a valve that automatically shuts off flow when the tank reaches the precharge level. This mechanical solution requires no electrical power and can be installed at an overnight check.

 | Outboard Pylon and Stabilizer Seals
Problem: Common exterior pylon and stabilizer seals were lasting only 200-300 flight hours. Part displacement during engine operation, risking a possible FOD
situation, was causing flight turn-backs & gate delays.
Solution: Seal reinforcement technology was applied along with an internal strength enhancing additive. Also added were common seal components such as Open
Weave Dacron® fabric, to the basic compound. Seal now lasts between scheduled heavy maintenance checks.

 | 737 & 757 Lanyard and Bracket Kit
Problem: FAA issued an AD calling for the installation of safety lanyards on overhead ducts of certain aircraft. Action is necessary to prevent loosened or disconnected overhead ducts from causing ceiling panels to drop below the minimum height, which could result in inadequate height for safe exit in the event of an emergency evacuation.
Solution: Seal Dynamics developed an alternative solution at the request
of a regional airline. STC/AMOC/PMA was obtained and EASA approval is in process.
