Abstract: An optical sensor configuration contains an optical current sensor and/or an optical voltage sensor. The sensor configuration further contains a first and a second hollow member, preferably ring shaped profiles, which are together disposed to form a hollow section. The sensor configuration further includes an optical fiber of the current sensor disposed in an annular groove, the groove being disposed at the boundary surface between the first hollow member and the second hollow member, and/or an optical fiber of the voltage sensor is disposed in a recess of the second hollow member. The first hollow member has an annular recess into which the second hollow member is disposed whereas the first hollow member is an L-shaped or U-shaped ring with two legs and the recess is formed between the two legs.

Abstract: A plug type door intended particularly for use on a military cargo type aircraft is designed to enable its ejection if necessary. To do this, an operating device such as a handle (28) simultaneously controls retraction of hinge pins (16c) from the hinges about which the panel (10) of the door is hinged to its frame (12) and retraction of the mechanical elements (21) against which the stops (19) fitted on the panel usually bear by gravity, when the door is closed. Furthermore, guide ramps connected to the frame (12) and in which the rollers supported by the panel (10) open downwards, to enable the panel (10) to drop by gravity when the handle (28) is pulled.
