Abstract: A supporting arm of a passenger door of an aircraft, has a curved structure which forms hollow chambers and movably connects the passenger door to a frame on the fuselage. Receiving means one for the supporting arm for receiving connecting means which enable a movable connection on the one hand to the passenger door and a pivoting drive and on the other hand to the frame on the fuselage, so that the door is movable by means of the supporting arm on a linear-displacement path and a pivoting path. The structure of the supporting arm is formed from fiber composite, the structure-forming fiber composite being formed from individual structural elements. This fiber composite structure further improves the thermal insulation of the supporting arm and nevertheless achieves a further weight reduction of the supporting arm, while maintaining exacting structural safety requirements for the latter.
