Abstract
A liner for an aircraft comprises a sheet of material having a plurality of standoffs integral with the liner sheet that extend in opposite directions from the plane defined by the liner sheet. Standoffs extending in one direction comprise an end portion for accommodating placement against the inside surfaca of the fuselage skin. Standoffs extending in an opposite direction have a generally planer end portion to accommodate the placement of an insulation blanket thereon. The liner comprises a matrix of both types of standoffs uniformly distributed throughout the liner sheet. A plurality of openings are through the sheet between the standoffs. The standoffs extend a predetermined distance from the plane of the liner sheet to provide a predetermined amount of separation between the inside surface of the skin and insulation blanket. The openings provide a fluid flow path for condensate formed at the blanket side of the liner to flow downwardly from the blankets along the inside surface of the skin down to the bilge of the aircraft where it is removed.
