Abstract: A cabin lining element for an aircraft cabin which is arranged in the interior of an aircraft fuselage structure, having a fuselage structure side and a cabin side. The cabin lining element comprises an electrically contactable heating lacquer layer at least in regions on its fuselage structure side. A rib is provided for an aircraft fuselage structure, having at least one foot portion on the outer skin facing side and a cabin facing side head portion. The rib comprises an electrically contactable heating lacquer layer at least in regions on a side of the head portion facing the cabin. As a result of the heating lacquer layer, it is possible to omit insulation which otherwise surrounds the rib heads and, as a consequence, to enlarge the width of the cabin.

Abstract: Unique insulation articles including corrosion inhibitors and methods of producing the same are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is an article of manufacture comprising an insulation mat comprising a cured combination of a plurality of randomly oriented fibers and a binder, the insulation mat extending between a first surface and a second surface, a veil attached to the first surface, the veil structured to inhibit physical movement of the cured combination through the veil, a metal sheet attached to the second surface by a water-containing adhesive contacting the metal sheet and the second surface, and a corrosion inhibitor composition deposited on the cured combination of the insulation mat, the corrosion inhibitor composition being effective to modify toward neutral a pH of the cured combination in contact with water from the water-containing adhesive.

Abstract: A lightning rod for protecting an antenna system involves a lightning rod having a plurality of sections. Each section of the plurality of sections has a dimension. The dimension is less than a quarter of a wavelength according to an operating frequency of the antenna system to be protected. The plurality of sections is inductively coupled. The lightning rod can also be part of a group of lightning rods, and a system of a lightning rod or a group of lightning rods with an antenna system.

Abstract: An internal cladding part for cladding a fuselage structure of an aircraft is disclosed having a first cover layer that extends in a planar manner, a second cover layer that extends in a planar manner, a core layer which is disposed between the first and the second cover layer and is connected to the first and the second cover layer and defines a receptacle cavity, and an insulation structure having a porous insulation core and an evacuated film sheath that encases the insulation core in a gas-tight manner. The insulation structure is disposed in the receptacle cavity between the first and the second cover layer.

Abstract: A cladding element having a heating layer in a sandwich construction. In the case of a cladding element in a sandwich construction for an interior space of an aircraft, the cladding element includes a core layer and a first cover layer. The first cover layer forms a visible side of the cladding element. An electrically heating layer extends at least across a sub-face of the first cover layer and serves for generating heat for emission through the first cover layer is disposed between the core layer and the first cover layer.

Abstract: An insulation pack for thermally and acoustically insulating an aircraft has a mat formed from an insulation material, and a casing film which completely encases the mat. The casing film has drying openings, each closable a cover that is connected to the casing film. Each cover has a coating substance, the planar extent of which varying as a function of the relative air humidity of the air in the interior of the insulation pack such that each cover moves relative to the casing film, as a function of air humidity. The associated covers are adapted for assuming an orientation which, below a predetermined relative air humidity, closes the associated drying opening and which, at higher relative air humidity values, at least partially opens the associated drying opening.
