Patent number: 12187426Abstract: A wing for an aircraft is disclosed having a fixed wing, a foldable wing tip portion mounted to the fixed wing via a hinge rotatable about a hinge axis between an extended position and a folded position, and an actuation mechanism for moving the foldable wing tip portion. The actuation mechanism includes a drive arm mounted to the fixed wing in a manner rotatably driven about a drive axis, and the drive arm is configured to effect movement of the foldable wing tip portion between the extended position and the folded position upon rotation of the drive arm about the drive axis.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2023Date of Patent: January 7, 2025Assignee: AIRBUS OPERATIONS GmbHInventor: Ronald Risch

Patent number: 11548610Abstract: An aircraft door, an aircraft region and an aircraft with an aircraft door. The aircraft door through which passengers enter and leave the aircraft and is held towards the outer side by stops and is locked exclusively on a hinge side opposite the stops. Also, an aircraft region and an aircraft with such an aircraft door.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2019Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: Airbus Operations GmbHInventor: Ronald Risch

Patent number: 11319048Abstract: A system for automatic unlocking of a door of an aircraft in the event of impact of the aircraft includes a door opening, a door articulated on the aircraft in the door opening, and a locking arrangement designed to lock the door to the aircraft when the door is in a closed, use state. The locking arrangement has a load-transmission device which is designed, and coupled to an impact region of the aircraft, such that, in the event of impact of the aircraft in the impact region, the load-transmission device transmits a deformation load, caused by inward deformation of the impact region, to the locking arrangement and thus unlocks the door.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2018Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Airbus Operations GmbHInventor: Ronald Risch

Patent number: 9409641Abstract: The invention relates to a device for limiting the deflection of a door (1), particularly a hatch or a freight door, arranged in a fuselage cell (3) of an aircraft, having at least one holding element (5) arranged preferably in the region of a door jamb (4) or in the region of a door leaf edge (7). In order to ensure deflection limitation for doors, hatches and freight doors in aircraft which can be triggered manually independently of an actuation of the normal locking system, it is proposed according to the invention that the at least one holding element (5) can, if there is a sufficient pressure difference ?p between the internal pressure pi prevailing in the fuselage cell (3) and the outside air pressure pa prevailing outside of the fuselage cell (3), be brought into engagement with at least one abutment (6) arranged in the region of the door leaf edge (7) or the door jamb (4).Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2014Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Assignee: Airbus Operations GmbHInventor: Ronald Risch

Patent number: 8827325Abstract: The invention relates to a locking mechanism for a cargo door (1, 27) in a fuselage cell (3) of an aircraft. The cargo door (1, 27) is attached by a hinge (5) in the area of a recess (2) to open outwards. The locking mechanism comprises inter alia a number of fuselage cell fitments (9, 41) which are disposed in the area of a loading edge (8) of the cargo door (1, 27), and a corresponding number of cargo door fitments (7, 28, 61) which are fixed in the area of a lower edge (6) of the cargo door (1, 27).Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2008Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Airbus Operations GmbHInventor: Ronald Risch
