An assembly for connecting an air connection fitting to a pneumatic de-icer of an aircraft includes a molded base and a machined insert. The molded base includes a flexible material and forms a sealing interface with a portion of the pneumatic de-icer. The machined insert is set into the molded base and includes a radially inward threaded surface that forms an opening extending axially through the machined insert. The radially inward threaded surface is configured to mate with a terminal end of the air connection fitting.

A de-icing assembly for a surface of an aircraft includes a carcass with a first layer and a second layer, a plurality of seams sewn into the carcass, and a bonded region. The plurality of seams join the first and second layers of the carcass together. Each of the plurality of seams comprises two or more stitchlines. The bonded region is disposed between the two or more stitchlines and seals a portion of the first layer of the carcass to a portion of the second layer of the carcass.

An aircraft heated floor panel includes a first support layer, a second support layer, and a heating layer located between the first support layer and the second support layer. An aircraft floor panel includes a floor panel body and a removal feature that provides a mechanism for the aircraft floor panel to be removed from an attached aircraft structure.

An aircraft potable-water system () comprising an automatic valve () associated with an overflow line () and an automatic switch () associated with the storage tank (). The switch () vents the storage tank () when it is not full, and automatically converts to a tank-pressurizing condition when the storage tank () is full. This conversion of the switch () causes the valve () to move to an overflow-open position so that excess potable water can be drained through the drainmast ().
