  • Publication number: 20070215754
    Abstract: An aircraft incorporates a lift system 2 for guiding a lift cabin 21, wherein the lift cabin 21 services several decks 11, 12 and 13 in the aircraft, and can traverse a guiding structure 3 mounted inside the aircraft fuselage 1. The lift cabin 21 can travel down to the landing strip 4 through an opening 16 on the fuselage underside. The lift cabin 21 is arranged on the guiding structure 3 by means of a bogie truck 24 situated above the lift cabin roof 23, and the bogie truck 24 is actively connected with profile rails 31 of the guiding structure 3 via guiding elements 25. The part of the bogie truck 24 carrying the guiding elements 25 remains in the fuselage 1 in the bottom lift position, while the lift cabin 21 is entirely removed from the fuselage 1. In particular, this configuration enables a ground-level lowering of the lift cabin 21 to the landing strip 4.
