Abstract: For producing a pipe, a core is provided and a functional material, a fiber composite material and a shrink material forming a shrink tube are applied radially externally to the core. The pipe is thermoformed by heating of the pipe with application of radially inward pressure to the fiber composite material and radially outward pressure to the functional material, this in turn by radially inward thermal contraction of the shrink tube and/or radially outward thermal expansion of the core. At the same time consolidation of the functional material together with the fiber composite material form the pipe, and cooling to a cold temperature and demolding of the consolidated pipe from the shrink tube and from the core. The functional material has such a media resistance with respect to the medium that for a planned usage period it is less damaged by the medium than the fiber composite material.

Abstract: A component for guiding an airflow in an air-conditioning system of an aircraft includes at least one structural part, at least one inlet opening and at least one outlet opening for air. At least two partial shells are interconnected in an airtight manner in such a way that the inlet openings and the outlet openings remain clear. The partial shells are particle foam parts. A method for producing the component incudes forming the partial shells of particle foam, and interconnecting the partial shells to form the component.
