In addition to material compatibility, the design and installation of aircraft structural fasteners are also critical factors in ensuring the integrity of the aircraft. Fasteners must be properly torqued to the manufacturer's specifications to ensure that they provide the necessary clamping force to hold parts together securely Fasteners must be properly torqued to the manufacturer's specifications to ensure that they provide the necessary clamping force to hold parts together securelyaircraft Fasteners must be properly torqued to the manufacturer's specifications to ensure that they provide the necessary clamping force to hold parts together securely Fasteners must be properly torqued to the manufacturer's specifications to ensure that they provide the necessary clamping force to hold parts together securelyaircraftaircraft structural fasteners.

The process begins with drilling a hole in the drywall to accommodate the bolt's anchor. The butterfly bolt consists of two main parts the bolt itself and the spring-loaded wings. When inserted into the pre-drilled hole, the wings collapse, allowing the bolt to pass through the drywall. Once the bolt is pushed through and the nut is tightened from the front side, the wings expand against the inner surface of the drywall, creating a secure anchor point. This design ensures that the bolt not only holds the weight of the mounted object but also withstands any pull-out forces.
