  • Patent number: 11492821
    Abstract: An emergency exit system comprising a first primary structure frame, a second primary structure frame extending substantially parallel to the first primary structure frame, a door opening arranged between the first primary structure frame and the second primary structure frame, and a door shiftable substantially parallel to the first primary structure frame and the second primary structure frame between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the door closes the door opening. In the open position, the door opens up the door opening. At least one of the primary structure frames comprises a primary structure guide element for guiding the door when the door is shifted between the closed position and the open position.

  • Patent number: 11434673
    Abstract: An aircraft door locking system comprises a first locking element fastenable to a first element of an aircraft door arrangement rotatable about a rotation axis and having a receiving opening and a bearing shell. A second locking element is fastenable to a door arrangement second element and comprises a locking bolt. In a release state, the locking bolt is insertable through the receiving opening and, by a rotation of the first locking element about the rotation axis in a locking direction, is positionable in the bearing shell to effect the locking state. A torque-generating device is configured, in the locking state, to generate a torque opposing a rotation of the first locking element about the rotation axis in a release direction opposite to the locking direction if a force directed substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis is exerted on the bearing shell and/or on the locking bolt.
