Abstract: An oven for use in an aircraft is disclosed, including a preparation space. A fan and a heater are located behind a separating wall. The separating wall has at least one of the following devices for enhancing the uniformity of air flow: —a throat around a central air intake opening in the separating wall—the separating wall provided with end edges which run close to the side walls of the preparation space and which are curved or bent towards the preparation space—flow guides extending along an edge of the separating wall and directed away from the preparation space.

Abstract: The invention relates to an oven (1) comprising a preparation space and a device for heating the content thereof, and further provided with means for releasably connecting steam module (18) to the heating device. In this way a convection oven may be converted into a steam oven. The heating device may be arranged in a housing (4), and the connecting means may comprise attachment points (19, 20) arranged on an outer wall of the housing for parts of the steam module (18), like a condenser (31), supply and discharge valves (34, 35) and a pressure sensor (36).

Abstract: The invention relates to an aircraft oven comprising a preparation space and means for heating the content thereof, which heating means comprise a fan driven by a direct-current motor, in particular a brushless direct-current motor, for distributing heat generated by the heating means in the preparation space. The oven can have an electronic control system, wherein electronics for operating the brushless direct-current motor can be integrated into the control system. The direct-current motor can further be thermally insulated relative to the preparation space.
