Abstract: A system for deploying loads out of an aircraft comprises an aerial delivery parachute with an aerial-delivery parachute line and an activation means for placing the aerial delivery parachute in an enveloping flow past the aircraft. Within the aircraft a receiving device can be positioned that receives a tractive force acting on the aerial-delivery parachute line, which tractive force has been determined by a force measuring device and has been transmitted by way of a transmitting device. With the knowledge of the tractive force it is possible both to implement emergency release and to assess whether an aerial delivery parachute has correctly deployed in the flow enveloping the aircraft.

Abstract: An aircraft ground or sea approach anomaly detection method. The method includes the steps of characterizing a flight phase of the aircraft, determining a prohibited flight envelope, defining a set of prohibited vertical speeds of the aircraft for given altitudes in relation to the ground or the sea, as a function of the flight phase of the aircraft characterized, and detecting a ground approach anomaly of the aircraft as a function of a current vertical speed and altitude in relation to the ground or the sea of the aircraft, in relation to the prohibited flight envelope determined.

Abstract: An aircraft according to the invention enables passengers to be received and comprises a first deck for receiving passengers, a second deck for receiving passengers, which is placed over the first deck, as well as at least one access door. The first deck has at least one first zone having a substantially planar floor and situated on the same level as the access door and at least one second zone having a floor offset in height relative to the first zone. The cabin further comprises at least one rectilinear ramp linking the first zone of the first deck to the second zone of the first deck, and at least one rectilinear ramp linking the first zone of the first deck to the second deck.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring an air pressure includes a linear retaining means, a towed device, at least one pressure sensor for acquiring a static pressure, and an actuating device that can be positioned in an aircraft, for retracting and extending the linear retaining means. The towed device includes an enclosure, an autarchic voltage supply and a wireless first communication device that is connected to the autarchic voltage supply. The first communication device is equipped to transmit signals and/or data that represent acquired measurement data to a second communication device. Consequently, the linear retaining means can be attuned purely to the task of retaining the towed device and does not need to carry out any secondary tasks of transmitting signals and/or measured data.
