Abstract: A wing-fuselage connection of an aircraft, in which a wing (2) that is arranged in the upper region of the fuselage (1) is connected to the fuselage (1) by means of a number of couplings (3, 4, 5, 6), wherein the couplings (3, 4, 5, 6) are provided for taking up forces in various directions and are designed for a maximum load carrying capacity, in particular for a nominal flight- and landing load (10) or a nominal crash load. According to the invention, the load carrying capacity of the individual wing couplings (3, 4, 5, 6) and their direction of force take-up are matched to each other such that in the case of a defect in one of the couplings (3, 4, 5, 6) the maximum load carrying capacity of the remaining couplings (3, 4, 5, 6) is adequate for safe normal flight operation.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for triggering automatic emergency braking in a vehicle, such as a truck, provides an assistance function for avoiding or mitigating the effects of a rear end collision with a vehicle traveling ahead. A driver warning is triggered if a predefined warning condition requires that an automatic emergency braking process is triggered, but only after the expiration of a predefined warning time period, in order to avoid the vehicle having a rear end collision with the vehicle traveling ahead.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for triggering an automatic emergency braking process of a vehicle, in particular of a truck. Said device provides an assistance function for avoiding a rear end collision of the vehicle with a vehicle traveling in front and/or for reducing the consequences of an accident if a rear end collision is unavoidable, with a driver warning being triggered if a predefined warning condition (62) is fulfilled. The fulfillment of the warning condition (62) specifies that the automatic emergency braking process is to be triggered after the expiry of a predefined warning time period (tw=toa+th) in order to avoid the vehicle having a rear end collision with the vehicle traveling in front.
