  • Patent number: 9656754
    Abstract: A ventilation system (10) for installation in an aircraft passenger cabin comprises an air supply pipe (12), which has a plurality of air outlet openings (14) disposed in a distributed manner along its longitudinal axis (L). An air chamber housing (16) is connectable to the air supply pipe (12) at various positions along the longitudinal axis (L) of the air supply pipe, such that air-conditioning air flowing through the air supply pipe (12) is supplyable, through an air outlet opening provided in the air supply pipe (12), into the air chamber housing (16). A connection device (34) is designed to connect the air chamber housing (16) to an air supply device (36) for supplying air-conditioning air into the aircraft passenger cabin.

  • Patent number: 8991757
    Abstract: A cabin structural segment is provided for an aircraft that includes, but is not limited to a fuselage structure and a floor structure. The fuselage structure defines an interior and separating it from an environment. The fuselage structure includes, but is not limited to an opening for a door. It is possible to provide via the opening a connection between the interior and the environment. The cabin structural segment is designed to be self-supporting. The cabin structural segment is fastenable exclusively to the floor structure. The cabin structural segment is constructed in such a way that the one cabin structural segment frames the opening.

  • Patent number: 8534603
    Abstract: A system for manufacturing a vehicle cabin includes, but is not limited to at least one first installation component, at least one first surface element, and at least one guide element. The first surface element is slidably arranged on the first installation component with the guide element to form a cabin module, and the guide element is lockable in at least one assembly position and at least one operating position. The resultant cabin module in the assembly position includes, but is not limited to outer dimensions enabling incorporation into a fuselage section of a vehicle, so that the cabin module in the operating position can make up at least a section of the cabin in the fuselage section of the vehicle.
