A device for creating a stiffened region on an outer structure of an aircraft for subsequently providing a service access if required is disclosed having an outer structure, a reinforcing plate which is mounted in a predetermined installation region on an inner side of the outer structure and forms a contact surface between the reinforcing plate and the outer structure. The reinforcing plate has a through-opening along the surface normal of the contact surface, and a connecting material which connects the reinforcing plate to the outer structure in an edge region of the contact surface by substance-to-substance bonding and/or by interlocking engagement.

An aircraft includes a control computer, load determining unit, first central inertial measurement device and a second inertial measurement device. The load determining unit is coupled to the first inertial measurement device and the second inertial measurement device. The load determining unit can receive instantaneous first accelerations detected by the first inertial measurement device and instantaneous second accelerations detected by the at least one second inertial measurement device and from this to determine instantaneous loads acting on the aircraft and to store them in a memory unit and/or to transmit them to an external unit. The load determining unit can determine expected maneuver accelerations. The load determining unit can subtract the expected maneuver accelerations from detected first accelerations and second accelerations and determine externally induced dynamic accelerations. The load determining unit can determine expected maneuver loads on the aircraft to determine dynamic loads on the aircraft and to determine the expected maneuver loads and the dynamic loads.

A composite component system includes a base component with a first component fiber ply and a second component fiber ply and a repair insert with a first repair fiber ply and a second repair fiber ply. The base component is connected to the repair insert by an adhesive joint. The first component fiber ply has an interface surface connected to the interface surface of the first repair fiber ply by the adhesive joint. The second component fiber ply has an interface surface connected to the interface surface of the second repair fiber ply by the adhesive joint. The first component fiber ply has a fiber orientation corresponding substantially to a fiber orientation of the first repair fiber ply. The interface surface of the first repair fiber ply completely overlaps the interface surface of the first component fiber ply.

An aircraft fuselage has an integrated energy-absorbing deformation structure. The fuselage includes annular frames, longitudinal fuselage beams interconnecting the annular frames, and a covering forming a fuselage skin. A lower floor structure is disposed in an interior of the fuselage. The lower floor structure includes a plurality of transverse beams connected to an assigned frame and longitudinal floor beams which interconnect said transverse beams. The deformation structure is formed in a lower fuselage region disposed below the lower floor structure. The deformation structure includes a first inelastically deformable central region and, on a left-hand side and a right-hand side, respective second inelastically deformable regions of greater stiffness in the vertical direction than the central region.
