  • Aircraft side fairing
    Patent number: 8490365
    Abstract: The invention relates to an aircraft side fairing, with a component (9) in the form of individual hollow chambers (12, 13, 14) which are arranged essentially in a preferably curved plane and are arranged between two cover layers (1, 2), wherein a gastight film which completely encases the component (9) with the hollow chambers (12, 13, 14) is provided and, after application of a vacuum to evacuate the hollow chambers (12, 13, 14), surrounds the component (9) with the hollow chambers in a gastight manner.

  • Condensed Water Decreasing Insulation Package For Thermal And Acoustic Insulation Of A Vehicle Cabin
    Publication number: 20130020434
    Abstract: An insulation package for thermal and acoustic insulation of a vehicle cabin has a cutout to allow a fastening device to pass through. An insulating element that is disposed in an area of the insulation package surrounding the cutout has an opening corresponding to the cutout for allowing a fastening device to pass through. At least part of the insulating element is aligned perpendicularly to an axis of the passthrough in the cutout and conformed so as to create a gap between a fastening device that has passed through and the insulation package. In this way, condensed water may be prevented from passing through the cutout in the insulation package and into the aircraft cabin.

  • Insulation design for thermal and acoustic insulation of an aircraft
    Patent number: 8327976
    Abstract: The invention pertains to an insulation structure for thermally and acoustically insulating an aircraft that features at least one heavy layer, wherein the insulation structure according to the invention is characterized in that the insulation structure comprises an additional absorption layer, in that the heavy layer is perforated at least in certain areas, and in that the perforated area ratio of the heavy layer is adapted in such a way that the heavy layer is essentially transparent to sound for frequencies below a double-wall frequency of the insulation structure. This makes it possible to dampen sound with low frequencies below the double-wall frequency as effectively as possible.

  • Fan blade
    Patent number: 8167564
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fan blade for axial fans with a blade body comprising an inner inlaid part and an outer blade shaped part partially enclosing said inner inlaid part. The outer blade is made of a material of lower rigidity than the inlaid part. The inlaid part is constructed as a substantially flat metal part adapted to the shape of the blade body and in the fan blade base region has an unencapsulated smooth fixing section.
