  • Patent number: 8177166
    Abstract: A tail structure for an aircraft or spacecraft, which adjoins a fuselage section of the aircraft or spacecraft, includes a support construction for supporting at least one craft component, and a bulkhead unit intended for the pressure-tight sealing of the fuselage section and able to be coupled both to the support construction and to the fuselage section so as to form a force flow path between the at least one craft component and the fuselage section.

  • Patent number: 8074928
    Abstract: A floor system for a fuselage section of an aircraft is provided. The floor system has an essentially self-supporting design and is substantially mechanically separate from the fuselage section as primary structure. Consequent to the free or self-supporting design of the floor system in the fuselage cell, the layout of the floor system along an aircraft axis can be matched to customer specifications in a simple manner without reference to structural boundary conditions of the fuselage structure. A floor surface for the floor system is formed from a number of floor elements which can be fitted with functional elements, wherein filling of empty spaces or cavities can be achieved with a number of floor equalization elements. As the floor elements have a relatively large support or fixing surface the loads induced by the functional elements are introduced into the floor system distributed over a large area such that the structural components thereof can be of a structurally lighter and thus weight-saving size.

  • Publication number: 20100243805
    Abstract: The structural element of an aircraft fuselage, with stringers running in the longitudinal direction of the aircraft fuselage and ribs running transversely to the stringers in the circumferential direction of the fuselage. According to the invention, at least one of the stringers running in the longitudinal direction of the aircraft fuselage is designed as a fastening rail for elements to be installed in the aircraft fuselage.
