Abstract: An aircraft door with an inner door space; a door opening system arranged at least partly in the inner door space. The door opening system comprises: at least one locking device for locking the aircraft door in a locked state, actuation kinematics for actuating the at least one locking device, and at least one transmission rod coupling the actuation kinematics with the at least one locking device; wherein the at least one transmission rod is displaceable in the inner door space by means of the actuation kinematics for actuating the at least one locking device; and an anti-vibration device mounted in the inner door space to the at least one transmission rod for absorbing vibrations of the at least one transmission rod, wherein the anti-vibration device is displaceable in the inner door space together with the at least one transmission rod.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a door locking assembly for locking a door of an aircraft, comprising a locking hook adapted for blocking in a locking position a lockable arm of a door of an aircraft; a release lever connected to the locking hook for moving the locking hook from a releasing position into the locking position in response to being actuated by a lockable arm of a door of an aircraft; an operating handle connected at least to the release lever and rotatable for moving the locking hook from the locking position to the releasing position; and a locking indicator connected to the locking hook for indicating positioning of the locking hook in one of the locking position or the releasing position.

Abstract: An aircraft with a fuselage and at least one emergency exit system, the at least one emergency exit system including a jettisonable component that is accommodated and locked in an associated frame structure of the aircraft in normal operation mode to form a portion of the fuselage and that is releasable from the associated frame structure for being jettisoned from the aircraft in an emergency mode; and further including an emergency evacuation assistance device that is adapted to assist in an emergency evacuation of the aircraft via the associated frame structure in the emergency mode; wherein the emergency evacuation assistance device is attached to the jettisonable component such that the emergency evacuation assistance device is deployed by means of the jettisonable component when the jettisonable component is jettisoned from the aircraft in the emergency mode.

Abstract: A method, comprising: providing a light source, a high contrast providing object, and an image acquisition device; emitting a light beam from the light source through the high contrast providing object, a transparent object and a surface of the transparent object toward the image acquisition device; exposing the surface of the transparent object to icing conditions such that a layer of ice is formed by ice accretion on the surface, wherein the light beam traverses the layer of ice after having traversed the transparent object; acquiring a series of images over time of the high contrast providing object using the image acquisition device; determining blur occurring in the series of images over the time; and quantifying the loss of visibility over the time through the transparent object on the basis of the determined blur.

Abstract: An assembly provided with a panel glued by a glue joint to a support, the assembly facilitating the detachment of the panel from the support, the glue joint being interposed between an internal environment and an external environment. The assembly comprises at least one tunnel, each tunnel passing all the way through the glue joint along a transverse axis and connecting the internal environment and the external environment, each tunnel being reversibly blocked by a stopper.

Abstract: A vehicle with at least one emergency exit system, the at least one emergency exit system comprising a jettisonable component that is accommodated and locked in an associated frame structure of the vehicle in normal operation mode and releasable from the associated frame structure for being jettisoned from the vehicle in an emergency mode; and further comprising an emergency evacuation assistance device that is adapted to assist in an emergency evacuation of the vehicle via the associated frame structure in the emergency mode; wherein the emergency evacuation assistance device is attached to the jettisonable component such that the emergency evacuation assistance device is deployed by means of the jettisonable component when the jettisonable component is jettisoned from the vehicle in the emergency mode.

Abstract: A jettisonable emergency exit for a vehicle, comprising an outer peripheral edge that is adapted to be accommodated in an associated frame provided in a vehicle, wherein at least one emergency exit retention means and at least one emergency exit locking device are integrated into the outer peripheral edge, the at least one emergency exit retention means comprising at least one non-retractable pivot finger around which the jettisonable emergency exit is rotatable in an emergency mode, and the at least one emergency exit locking device comprising at least one locking hook that is adapted for locking the jettisonable emergency exit in an associated locking position in normal operation mode and for releasing the jettisonable emergency exit in an associated retracted position in the emergency mode.

Abstract: A rotary wing aircraft with a fuselage that is equipped with at least one rail, comprising at least one sliding element, in particular a sliding door or a sliding window, that is slidably supported by the at least one rail, wherein the at least one sliding element is at least slidable along the at least one rail by means of an opening sliding movement into an opening movement direction from a fully closed position into a fully opened position, wherein a dampening unit is provided that dampens the opening sliding movement of the at least one sliding element upon reaching of the fully opened position.
