Publication number: 20190193872Abstract: A system for installing modules on a fuselage structure has modules with holders arranged thereon for fastening on a fuselage structure, assembly stands, which can be moved on a floor level, and a flexible connecting element, extending via all the modules and coupling them together. Each assembly stand has a base for supporting the stand on the floor level and a holding device, designed to support the module. The assembly stands, the modules and the at least one connecting element are designed to form a chain of assembly stands, such that two successive groups of assembly stands enclose a pivot point at which the mutually facing modules have a larger spacing relative to one another than the modules within the respective groups. The connecting element allows the pivoting of the groups relative to one another at the pivot point through an angle of at least 90°.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2018Publication date: June 27, 2019Applicant: Airbus Operations GmbHInventors: Hermann Benthien, Martin Metten, Florian Müller, Michael Telkamp, Marcus Hinrichs, Tancredi Tincani, Ralph Schmitt

Patent number: 9902483Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a window panel for a body structure of a vehicle, especially an airframe of an aircraft or spacecraft, including a first skin which extends over a first side of the panel to form an outer skin of the vehicle body structure; a second skin which extends over a second side of the panel to form an inner skin of the vehicle body structure; and a core, especially a foam core, located between and covered by the first and second skins in a sandwich structure. The window panel includes at least one window aperture formed through the first layer, the core, and the second layer. The core may be confined to or extends over a limited extent, region or part of the panel. Thus, the first skin and/or the second skin may extend over or cover a greater area of the panel than the core.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2014Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: Airbus Operations GmbHInventors: Pierre C.
