  • Patent number: 10660158
    Abstract: A heated floor panel for an airborne vehicle and an airborne vehicle having at least one heated floor panel are described. The floor panel includes a controller housing, a first heated panel configured to heat the floor panel, a panel connector arranged in a wall of the controller housing, at least one power line coupled between the panel connector and the first heated panel and configured to supply electric power, which is input to the panel connector, to the first heated panel, a switch connected in one of the power lines, and a microcontroller connected to the switch and configured to actuate the switch for interrupting the electric power supply to the first heated panel in case of an electric fault in the floor panel.

  • Publication number: 20180148171
    Abstract: A construction group of an aircraft for feeding a line to a connector section of the cabin module includes a flex zone for providing of at least one cabin module having a connector section for physical connection to a line of the aircraft. The flex zone is configured to receive different cabin modules and/or a cabin module at different positions. The construction group further includes a guide element for guiding the line to be connected to the connector section along the fuselage of the aircraft, and a support element extending along the flex zone for feeding the line from the guide element to the connector section, wherein during the receiving of the construction group in the aircraft, the longitudinal axis of the support element includes a component in direction of the attitudinal axis of the aircraft.
