  • Patent number: 11643181
    Abstract: A connector for connecting a frame to a transversely extending stringer of a fuselage structure of an aircraft includes a base carrier extending in a longitudinal connector direction, a first connecting portion connected to the base carrier and extending in a first transverse connector direction, the first connecting portion having a coupling structure in an end region remote from the base carrier for engaging around an end region of a cross-section of the stringer, and a second connecting portion connected to the base carrier and adapted to be connected to the frame.

  • Patent number: 11634205
    Abstract: A frame component for a frame of a fuselage structure of an aircraft includes a central web extending along a longitudinal direction and having an inner edge region with respect to a radial direction running transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction and an outer edge region with respect to the radial direction. An inner web is bent from the inner edge region of the central web towards a first side. An outer web is bent from the outer edge region of the central web towards the first side. The central web, the outer web and the inner web are produced integrally from a metal sheet and together define a C-shaped cross section of the frame component. At least one stringer recess is formed in the outer web and in the outer edge region of the central web. The central web has, in the region of the stringer recess, a first reinforcing formation which forms a protrusion on the first side of the central web.

  • Patent number: 11560242
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a structural component for a vehicle, in particular an aircraft or spacecraft, includes additively manufacturing a reinforcing plate of a metal material having on a joining surface a plurality of joining arms projecting from the joining surface; and joining the reinforcing plate at the joining surface to a structural element to form the structural component by inserting the joining arms into the structural element such that the joining arms permanently hold the structural element together with the reinforcing plate.

  • Publication number: 20220267012
    Abstract: A mounting rail for receiving and holding loads in an interior of a vehicle includes a support element with a recess extending in the longitudinal direction of the support element and a rail element. The rail element is arranged in the recess of the support element and is mechanically coupled to the support element. The rail element has a receiving space for receiving and holding loads. The mounting rail is divided into two parts so that different materials can be used for the support element and the rail element, which meet the respective individual requirements hereof.
