Abstract: An aircraft cooling system and an aircraft having an aircraft cooling system of this type. The aircraft cooling system comprises a ram air duct, a nozzle arranged in the ram air duct and connected to a first water-conducting line, and a refrigeration device. The refrigeration device comprises a heat exchanger thermally coupled to the refrigeration device and configured to release waste heat generated by the refrigeration device to cooling air present in the ram air duct, a first water separator configured to separate off water from the air cooled by the refrigeration device, and a water outlet configured to conduct water obtained in the first water separator into the first water-conducting line. Furthermore, the water outlet has an inlet configured to be connected to a second water-conducting line, wherein the water outlet is furthermore configured to generate a negative pressure at the inlet.

Abstract: A vehicle cabin arrangement includes first and second intersecting aisles, a first walling of a cabin monument bordering the first aisle, and a second walling bordering the second aisle. The wallings extend from the floor region of the cabin to a ceiling region of the cabin, and form an angle less than 180°. A first access opening is arranged in the first walling and is closable through a first door, and a second access opening is arranged in the second walling and is closable with a second door. A door blocking unit has blocking means designed for preventing an access to the first access opening and the second access opening. The door blocking unit is switchable between at least two operating modes. In a first operating mode, only the first access opening is accessible. In a second operating mode, only the second access opening is accessible.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a shell element reinforced with support elements comprises providing a skin element that has an outer surface and an inner surface opposite the outer surface, providing a first support element that has an attaching side and a free side opposite the attaching side, attaching the first support element on the skin element such that the attaching side of the first support element faces the inner surface of the skin element. A first recess is introduced into the first support element that proceeds from the free side of the first support element and extends transversely to the first axis. A second support element is provided that has a support side and a front side opposite the support side. The second support element is inserted into the first recess of the first support element such that the support side faces the inner surface of the skin element.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fireproof bulkhead, having a highly porous structure with an intumescent coating, the highly porous structure being formed as a reticulated foam or as a highly porous pimple or nub structure.

Abstract: A collapsible partition is provided having a collapsed configuration and an installed configuration in which it is arranged to divide a vehicle compartment into two parts. The partition includes, but is not limited to a ducted portion comprising a duct. The duct extends within the partition from a first opening at a first end of the duct to a second opening at a second end of the duct. The duct is arranged to convey a control fluid for controlling the heat transfer between the partition and at least one of the two parts of the vehicle compartment. There is also disclosed a vehicle compartment control arrangement and a method of partitioning a vehicle compartment.

Abstract: A conveyor device is provided for airplane for storing and conveying objects in an arc-shaped shaft. The shaft surrounds an area of a payload space of the airplane. An airplane is also provided with such a conveyor device.

Abstract: A light module, a light-module carrier and an illumination system for an aircraft, which allow intelligent illumination and at the same time easy reconfiguration of cabin illumination. The light module provides information relating to its characteristics, while a control system determines a position of the light module on a light-module carrier, and on the basis of the determined position and of the characteristics of the light module adjusts the light module by way of a bus system of the light-module carrier according to a desired illumination.

Abstract: A frame element for use in an aircraft air-conditioning system is attachable to an aircraft structure and includes at least one strut which is formed to at least in sections as a hollow cylinder, wherein an air inlet connection of the at least one-section-wise hollow cylindrically formed strut of the frame element is connectable to an air outlet duct of an aircraft air-conditioning unit, and an air outlet connection of the at least one section-wise hollow cylindrically formed strut of the frame element is connectable to an air outlet opening terminating in a cabin region of an aircraft.
