  • Patent number: 11731781
    Abstract: A cabinet comprising at least one screen allowing display of data necessary for a flight-control of an aircraft connected to at least one avionics module for management of the data. The screen at least partially forms one of the sides of the cabinet and the module or modules are installed inside the cabinet. The cabinet has a base allowing the screen or screens to be placed at a desired height. As a result, a length of cable between screen and avionics modules is reduced to a minimum.

  • Patent number: 11597491
    Abstract: A wall covering panel for a nose of an aircraft. The panel comprises a rigid carrying framework preferably having an alveolar structure obtained by 3-D printing, a décor carried by the carrying framework and an acoustically and thermally insulating padding fixed to the carrying framework, and also attachments for fixing the carrying framework to the primary structure of the aircraft. Preferably, the panel also integrates systems, such as electrical route portions or ventilation route portions that traverse the panel from one side to the other or lead to an outlet equipment item also integrated in the panel. Only the carrying structure of the panel, which carries the décor, the insulating padding and any route portions and equipment items, is fixed to the primary structure of the aircraft. The number of attachments is low; the kitting-out and the finishing of the nose of the aircraft are greatly simplified.

  • Patent number: 11377230
    Abstract: A transverse framework for an avionics bay of an aircraft is delimited by a primary structure and a floor, the transverse framework having a mesh structure with square and/or rectangular mesh cells. According to one arrangement, an avionics bay of an aircraft includes two longitudinal rows of avionics racks, parallel to the longitudinal direction and arranged on each side of a clear zone, and a transverse avionics rack supported by the transverse framework situated to the rear of the two longitudinal rows of avionics racks at the rear boundary of the avionics bay. This transverse framework makes it possible to optimize the space occupied by the avionics bay.

  • Patent number: 10828760
    Abstract: A method enabling two holes belonging to two parts to be aligned relies on use of a tool, comprising a body, having a first outer surface which gradually wanders from a longitudinal axis of the body as it extends from a first end of the body, and a hollow part having a second outer surface with a complementary section to the section of the holes. The hollow part comprises a hole through which it is removably mounted on the tool so that the second outer surface extends the first outer surface on an opposite side to the first end of the body. The method comprises inserting the first end of the body into the first hole, and then operating the tool to push the body and then the hollow part together into the holes. This method especially applies to the assembly of a floor module to an aircraft fuselage.
