  • Patent number: 11628921
    Abstract: An aircraft fuselage for transporting passengers in a lower deck, the fuselage having a longitudinal axis and interior compartment, having an intermediate floor fastened to the fuselage structure, extending through the interior compartment and dividing the interior compartment into an upper deck and a lower deck, having a support device for supporting the intermediate floor on the fuselage structure. The support device is fastened to the intermediate floor and by an opposite end in the lower deck to the fuselage structure. The support device has a concave form and has an energy absorption element such that in a crash of an underside of the fuselage undergoes a defined plastic deformation and absorbs a defined amount of kinetic energy. In a crash, the fuselage structure is, at the underside of the aircraft fuselage, deformed at most to such an extent that a minimum height between a seat surface of passenger seats in the lower deck and the intermediate floor is not undershot.

  • Patent number: 11470045
    Abstract: A communication system for an aircraft comprises a communication interface with the outside of the aircraft and an avionics domain of which the security level is the highest of the communication system. It also comprises a communication domain to which is connected the communication interface and of which the security level is lower than the security level of the avionics domain. A barrier of a first type is arranged to filter the information coming from the communication interface so as to allow the information to pass into the communication domain only if the information corresponds to an authenticated communication. A barrier of a second type is arranged to filter information transmitted from the communication domain to the avionics domain, carrying out at least a syntactic filtering of the information.
