An agile repair-by-replacement solution for a Boeing 787-9's damaged thrust reverser rub strip, engineered to overcome critical supply chain delays without grounding the aircraft.
When an original Boeing rub strip component on the right wing's thrust reverser translating sleeve was found damaged and unavailable within the required timeline, Pt21 Solutions designed a repair-by-replacement modification using an alternative material.
The solution was backed by rigorous stress analysis proving full structural equivalence to the OEM design, fully satisfying CS-25 airworthiness regulations and keeping the widebody aircraft flying without costly operational grounding.
