Lufthansa Technik AG develops another solution to avoid unscheduled maintenance actions. It's called the Logo Light Protector.
The light protector avoids damage that can occur while removing a logo light located in the horizontal stabilizer of the Boeing 777. Until now, there has been an inherent risk of damage to the GFRP surface layer of the stabilizer while removing the sealant around the cover of the logo light. The sealant is often cemented on the aircraft surface. In this case, the delamination of the surface requires time-consuming repair at a significant cost.
