  • Publication number: 20210101668
    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.

  • Publication number: 20150300373
    Abstract: A fastening system is provided with a wall ring as fastening device, a ventilator and a holding means, wherein the fastening device is provided in radial direction around the ventilator and the ventilator is connected to the fastening device via the holding means. The fastening device encompasses a first fastening geometry. The fastening system comprises the fastening device and additionally encompasses a holding device, wherein the fastening device encompasses at least one further, second fastening geometry for fastening the holding device to the fastening device. The fastening device and thus the wall ring axial ventilator can be fastened in a common manner to a unit via the first fastening geometry. The second fastening geometry serves to fasten the holding device to the fastening device, so that the wall ring axial ventilator can be fastened to a different design of a unit than a lamella heat exchanger.

  • Patent number: 8727281
    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.

  • 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.
