  • Patent number: 8011619
    Abstract: The design and attachment of an insulation package near the fuselage structure to protect the cabin region of an aircraft against fire acting on the insulation package from outside the aircraft environment, thus clearly facilitating evacuation of the passengers from the vehicle. The insulation package arrangement may comprise several fuselage insulation packages of an elongated form. These packages may adjoin the aircraft fuselage structure in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. They may be completely enclosed by a burn-through-proof foil which is arranged in a space enclosed by interior paneling and by the panels of the outer skin.

  • Patent number: 7883056
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an insulation structure for the internal insulation of a vehicle. The insulation structure is improved in such a way that using it a fire incursion of the flames of a source of fire acting from outside the vehicle environment into the vehicle interior is excluded as much as possible, an increase of the fire protection safety for separate interior regions lying proximal to a structure external skin being implemented by the type of the film insulation of the insulation package. The insulation structure comprises an insulation package (3), in which an insulation core (1) is embedded, and a film (11). The insulation package (3) is positioned inside an intermediate space which encloses internal paneling and an external skin. It is completely enclosed by the film (11). The film (11) is implemented using a burn-through safe film material, which is an obstruction to a flaming fire, to which a film surface region of this film is subjected during an occurring fire catastrophe.

  • Publication number: 20060284014
    Abstract: The design and attachment of an insulation package according to an exemplary embodiment, which may be installed near the fuselage structure, is believed protect the cabin region of an aircraft against fire whose flames act on the insulation package from outside the aircraft environment, thus clearly facilitating evacuation of the passengers from the vehicle. The insulation package arrangement may comprise several fuselage insulation packages of an elongated form. These packages may adjoin the aircraft fuselage structure in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. They may longitudinally adjoin a support surface of the stringers which are attached to the aircraft fuselage, or longitudinally adjoin an inner area of a panel of outer skin and are attached to both longitudinal sides of the ribs. Furthermore, those insulation packages may be completely enclosed by a burn-through-proof foil which is arranged in a space enclosed by interior paneling and by the panels of the outer skin.
