Abstract: An airfoil for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, an airfoil body extending between leading and trailing edges and extending from a root section, and the airfoil body defining pressure and suction sides. The airfoil body defines a recessed region extending inwardly from at least one of the pressure and suction sides, and the airfoil body includes one or more ribs that define a plurality of pockets within a perimeter of the recessed region. A plurality of cover skins is welded to the airfoil body along the one or more ribs to enclose respective ones of the plurality of pockets. The plurality of cover skins are formed from a common cover having a perimeter that is dimensioned to mate with the perimeter of the recess.

Abstract: An airfoil for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, an airfoil body extending between leading and trailing edges in a chordwise direction and extending from a root section in a spanwise direction, and the airfoil body defining pressure and suction sides separated in a thickness direction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an under-floor system for providing a functional space for an aircraft. The under-floor system comprises a support-member structure and a cover element. The support-member structure is designed such that the support-member structure can be fastened to an aircraft structure element. The cover element can be fastened to the support-member structure such that the cover element is spaced apart from, for example, the aircraft floor. By means of spacing the cover element apart from the aircraft floor, the functional space can be provided.

Abstract: A floor structure in an aircraft includes a plurality of seat rails that extend parallel in relation to each other, and at least one floor panel. The floor panel extends over the seat rails and rests on the individual seat rails. In order to be able to fasten interior equipment components to the seat rails situated underneath the floor panels, the at least one floor panel includes a plurality of through-holes through which the interior equipment components of the aircraft can be locked into place on the seat rails.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement of line connections for installations in an aircraft passenger cabin. The arrangement comprises a line connection element for accommodating several line connections; wherein the line connection element has a fixed position in the floor grid; wherein the line connections are adaptable to system lines of aircraft systems; and wherein the installations are adaptable by way of flexible inlet lines on the line connection element.

Abstract: According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a system for simultaneously longitudinally moving a plurality of selected seats or seat rows in an aircraft is stated, in which system a drive device for moving the seats is provided, wherein moving the seats takes place automatically according to a change in the seating configuration planning.

Abstract: A CNC machine tool control system that includes a controllable, movable tool for shaping a workpiece, a mechanism for receiving control instructions describing shaping functions to be performed on the workpiece, a processing unit and memory. The control systems includes objects defined according to an object oriented design. One type of object is a model of a shaping process to be performed on a workpiece, including informational parameters regarding the physical dimensions of the shape resulting from the process. The process objects communicates through an object oriented messaging system to machine objects, which represent physical devices present on the CNC machine on which the control system operates. The system also includes object oriented motion control and exception handler objects, each of which may communication with other object via object oriented messages.
