Abstract: The invention discloses the multistage cooling of an aircraft electronic system (2) with at least one electronic component which delivers heat. The multistage feature results from the use of a plurality of circuits for transferring the waste heat. An internal coolant (14) circulating in a closed circuit which is thermally coupled to the electronic component carries heat from the at least one electronic component to a heat exchanger (6) which delivers the heat to an external coolant which flows and/or circulates from a source outside of the aircraft electronic system (2) through the heat exchanger (6) to a sink outside of the aircraft electronic system (2). The internal coolant flows from the heat exchanger (6) in the direction of the at least one electronic component and/or circulates in a closed circuit.

Abstract: An aircraft cooling system includes a first coolant stream which cools at least one first heat load and a second coolant stream which cools at least one second heat load. The aircraft cooling system is formed such that the first heat load and the second heat load are thermally coupled together. The first heat load and the second heat load can be formed by two mutually redundant aircraft components. A third coolant stream thermally couples the first heat load and the second heat load together. The third coolant stream can be cooled by a heat sink, such as the outer skin of the aircraft in a bilge region.

Abstract: A seat fixing device for fixing an air passenger seat to a floor of an aircraft includes at least one fastening rail (10) in the form or a hollow profile, which is provided with a longitudinal channel (14) delimiting the free flanks (16) of the profile on the top part thereof (12) oriented to the seat. The channel includes through openings (18) located in a predetermined modular dimension, which enlarge the free input section and are used for inserting at least one snap-locking part (24) of a locking body (26). The looking body (26) is movable to a clamping position with the profile (16) of the hollow profile (14) by the relative displacement of each snap-locking part (24) in a perpendicular direction with respect to the longitudinal axis (28) of the fastening rail (10). The fixing device provides an eccentric drive (30) of the locking body (26) for carrying out relative displacement, which reduces assembly costs.
