Abstract: A connecting device for joining a windshield with a fuselage side frame of a viewing port of an aircraft, especially a cockpit frame of a helicopter. The connecting device includes a fastening element which is fixed into position on a section of a peripheral region of the windshield through a bore hole and into a congruent bore hole of the fuselage side frame and in a fastening part with a spring device. A peripheral slit filled with a sealant is arranged in a peripheral region between the fuselage side frame and windshield. The fastening part includes a retaining nut and a spring device which can be moved and guided within a seating element and connected with the fuselage side frame. The spring device is arranged between the retaining nut and the frame.

Abstract: A ventilation valve cooperating with a breathing channel for a fuel tank of a helicopter has a safety device arranged in a valve housing of the ventilation valve. To seal the breathing channel from the tank when a connection between the fuselage cell and the tank is released or disrupted, e.g. in a crash, the safety device includes a spring-loaded plunger (15), a retainer (22), and a movable seal element (10). To allow the tank container to be filled essentially full, and to ensure the ongoing reliable functioning of the breathing channel, the seal element (10) is a buoyant valve ball (10) that seals the breathing channel (81) of the fuel extraction or discharge tank (4) if the fuel level (711) in the tank (4) rises up into the valve (8). Also, the breathing channel (81) is connected with the breathing channel (71) of a main fuel tank (3) by a connecting channel (9).
