  • Publication number: 20150029737
    Abstract: An aircraft with a daylight input system may provide improved illumination with a reduced energy demand. The aircraft has a fuselage construction and at least one interior area arranged within the fuselage construction and includes the daylight input system. The daylight input system includes at least one light receiving device arranged in an outer wall, at least one light guiding device and at least one light emitting device arranged on the inner side. In this case, the light receiving device serves for receiving daylight present in the surrounding outside the outer wall and transmitting the same into the light guiding device. The light guiding device optically couples the light receiving device to the light emitting device. This light emitting device in turn emits the received daylight into an interior space on the inner side of a wall construction, wherein at least a partial deflection of the daylight is provided.
