Abstract: The invention pertains to an inerting system for an aircraft featuring at least one air separation module with at least one air inlet, a first air outlet and a second air outlet. The air separation module is designed for splitting an input air flow into a first air flow and a second air flow, wherein the first air flow is enriched with oxygen in comparison with the input air flow and discharged at the first air outlet and the second air flow is enriched with nitrogen in comparison with the input air flow and discharged at the second air outlet. In comparison with known inerting systems, the inerting system according to the invention is characterized in that the air inlet can be connected to an air extraction point in an air processing system and the inerting system is designed for routing the first air flow into a cabin to be air-conditioned.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an air conditioning system (10) for an aircraft cabin (12) with at least one air inlet (14) for supplying air to the cabin (12), at least one air outlet (16) for discharging air from the cabin (12) and at least one compressed-air source (52, 54, 56), which is adapted to provide pressurised fresh air for supplying to the cabin (12) via the at least one air inlet (14). The air conditioning system (10) further comprises a heat exchanger (42) supplied with ram air from a ram air inlet (92) for cooling air from the compressed-air source (52, 54, 56), wherein the heat exchanger (42) is disposed upstream of the air inlet (14) of the cabin (12).

Abstract: In order to be able to provide in-flight emergency medical aid to patients on board more efficiently with minimum space, an aircraft, in one example, includes a seat device providing a first section of a reclining position region and a reclining position device which includes a second section of the reclining position region. In addition to use in aircraft, a reclining device, in one example, includes a seat device providing a first section of a reclining position region and a reclining position device, which provides a second section of the reclining position region, may also be used in other transportation vehicles.
