Abstract: The invention relates to a supplementary power supply including a solar generator for ohmic consumers in a vehicle, in particular an aircraft, wherein a control circuit is electrically connected to a multiplicity of solar cells via generator terminals of the solar generator and includes at least one output terminal, and wherein the control circuit is configured to interconnect the at least one output terminal with the multiplicity of solar cells in accordance with an actual intensity of insolation of the solar cells such that a nominal voltage and/or a nominal current intensity is available at the at least one output terminal.

Abstract: A supplementary power supply apparatus for electric onboard consumers of a vehicle, in particular flying machines. The apparatus includes openly disposed visible solar surfaces of several solar cells that are arranged in areas on the surface of an outer skin of the vehicle or integrated in the latter in the manner of a layer. Each of the solar cells includes at least two electric terminals by means of which the solar cells may be interconnected to form a solar generator, and several ones of the electric terminals are configured as generator terminals of the solar generator for one or several predetermined voltages between two respective ones of these generator terminals.

Abstract: A power generation system for integration into an aircraft system, including a secondary power supply device having a generator turbine arranged in a duct running between a forward opening and a rearward opening on the fuselage of the aircraft. An electromagnetic unlocking device locks and unlocks a covering device on the forward opening, depending on a signal strength supplied to the unlocking device. The system also includes an actuation device that generates an opening or closing signal for an opening and closing device, and an opening function switching device that activates the unlocking device electrically with a signal strength that locks the covering device in an initial state, and on receipt of a power requirement signal from a power generation monitoring device, activates the unlocking device with a second signal strength that unlocks the covering device.

Abstract: A flexible cable guide is provided that includes, but is not limited to a first chain link with a first longitudinal axis, a front region and a tubular first inner surface that extends in longitudinal direction, and a second chain link with a second longitudinal axis, a rear region and a tubular second inner surface that extends in longitudinal direction. The front region of the first chain link is connected to the rear region of the second chain link pivotably about a pivoting axis that extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the chain links, such that it can be pivoted leftward and rightward referred to the first longitudinal axis up to a maximum pivoting angle.
