A fuselage cell structure for an aircraft includes at least two skin panels including at least one double shell skin panel and at least one monolithic skin panel. At least one longitudinal brace or a transverse brace is disposed so as to form at least one of longitudinal seam or a transverse seam between the double shell skin panel and the monolithic skin panel. The fuselage cell structure includes at least one of a longitudinal bracket and a load transfer point. The longitudinal bracket is disposed in a region of the longitudinal seam and includes a first and a second longitudinal flanges disposed offset with respect to one another and connected by a web. The load transfer point is disposed in a region of the transverse seam so as to connect the longitudinal brace disposed on the monolithic skin panel to the double shell skin panel.

A window element for a double-shell skin field of an aircraft fuselage cell includes a window frame having a window module disposed in the frame, wherein the frame is disposed in an opening of the double-shell skin field, and wherein the frame is connected to the double-shell skin field by a surrounding embrasure profile positioned against a core structure of the skin field at least in some regions, wherein the core structure includes an inner and an outer covering layer.

Window element for a double-shell skin field of an aircraft fuselage cell

The invention relates to a vehicle window consisting of a transparent composite material, wherein the composite material comprises fibers and a matrix material such that the vehicle window is capable of withstanding structural loads occurring in the window region and can substantially provide the window function even in spite of damage to the vehicle window (damage-tolerant), the fibers and the matrix material being transparent and substantially having the same refractive index. The invention proposes vehicle windows which are damage-tolerant, load bearing, cost-saving, easy to handle and require less installation space than conventional vehicle windows.
