  • Publication number: 20240025530
    Abstract: An aircraft door architecture having: a door (1); an ejector (3); an inflatable evacuation device (4); an emergency energy source (6) connected to the ejector (3) and to the inflatable evacuation device (4); a control unit (9) having the two following operating states: a nominal operating state in which the inflatable evacuation device (4) is kept in its retracted position and the emergency energy source is deactivated; an emergency operating state in which the emergency energy source (6) activates the actuation device of the ejector (3) in an emergency opening mode of the door (1), and activates the inflation device of the inflatable evacuation device (4) in an emergency inflation mode.

  • Publication number: 20230264803
    Abstract: Double-curved aircraft door having a pair of stops in contact over a contact area. The isobarycentre (31A) of each contact area of a first lateral edge is substantially arranged in a first plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (21) and the same applies to a second lateral edge. For each contact area, the normal to the contact area passing through its isobarycentre (31A, 31B) substantially passes through the axis (41) of a medium cylinder (42). For each contact area, the normal to the contact area passing through its isobarycentre (31A, 31B) forms a deflection angle with a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (21), the deflection angles of all the contact areas being equal.

  • Publication number: 20230258033
    Abstract: Aircraft door designed to assume a first configuration and a second configuration, having a bistable mechanism biasing the aircraft door towards either the first or second configuration, the bistable mechanism including: a first yoke having a base attached to the first member and a first pivot rotatably mounted on the bas; a second yoke having: a base attached to the first member; a lever a first end of which is mounted so as to pivot on the base; a second pivot mounted so as to rotate on the second end of the lever; a coupling device for coupling the lever to the second member of the door; an arch which can be elastically deformed by bending and a first end of which is attached to the first pivot and a second end attached to the second pivot.

  • Publication number: 20230011589
    Abstract: Aircraft door (1) including a safety latch (7) having a first locking element (8) and a complementary second locking element (9) which is movable; a link (11) having at least one electroactive polymer portion (13) and adapted to take up: a lock position in which the electroactive polymer portion (13) is supplied with power and the movable second locking element (9) is engaged with the first locking element (8); and an unlock position in which the electroactive polymer portion (13) is not supplied with power and the movable second locking element (9) is kept away from the first locking element (8); a control unit (16) having a power supply (26) for the electroactive polymer portion (13).
