  • Patent number: 11952102
    Abstract: An aircraft cabin section includes a door frame, which forms a door opening, a passenger door, which is arranged on the door frame and is configured to close the door opening, and a door insulation arrangement, which is larger in at least one direction than the door opening. The door insulation arrangement is produced from a textile which is heat-insulating and/or airflow-inhibiting. Furthermore, a corresponding door insulation arrangement and an aircraft having such an aircraft cabin section or such a door insulation arrangement are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20220411068
    Abstract: An aircraft cabin section with an aircraft door, a cabin floor, and at least one lining mounted to the aircraft door. The aircraft cabin section further comprises at least one seal that is mounted to the at least one lining and seals a space between the at least one lining and the cabin floor. This prevents a cold air draft from entering the aircraft cabin.

  • Patent number: 9365280
    Abstract: A gutter profile for draining liquids on an aircraft, comprising a connecting section for connecting the gutter profile to an outer skin of the aircraft and comprising a drain section for forming a drain cross-section of the gutter profile. The drain section is pre-tensioned into a ground position which opens the drain cross-section and has a flow guiding device for transferring the drain section into a flight position which closes the drain cross-section. An aircraft having such a gutter profile is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8715808
    Abstract: This invention provides a coupling method for coupling a first and a second stiffening profile element for an outer skin of an aircraft or space craft. In a first step the stiffening profile elements are arranged on the outer skin in such a manner that the stiffening profile elements oppose each other with their respective front sides and enclose within themselves a cavity. Furthermore, a fixing hole is formed through a wall of at least one of the stiffening profile elements in the cavity inside a coupling zone of the stiffening profile element. An access opening is formed through the wall in the cavity along the coupling zone. A coupling strap, which couples the stiffening profile elements together, is fastened to the coupling zone by means of a fastening element guided through the fixing hole.

  • Publication number: 20100206989
    Abstract: The invention relates to a connection 1 between a first component and a second component, the first component being formed from an aluminium alloy in particular and the second component being formed from a carbon-fibre-reinforced plastics material in particular. The first component is a rib 6 in particular and the second component is preferably an angle bracket 7, with which the rib 6 is connected to an aircraft fuselage skin 2 within a fuselage reinforcement structure. The connection 1 between the components comprises, according to the invention, a ceramic coating 16 which is applied for protection against corrosion at least in the region of a contact area 9 between the components, the components being riveted and/or adhesively bonded. The ceramic coating 16 is less than 0.1 mm thick and may be formed from a mixture of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and TiO2 for example.
