A method for producing an armored wall for an aircraft by determining an available thickness of the wall, an allowable areal mass of the wall, and an available space for a wall deformation due to ballistic impact. The method includes retrieving a parameterization of a plurality of armoring materials, which includes a parameter for each of a plurality of material characteristics for each of the plurality of armoring materials. The method also includes comparing the available wall thickness, the allowable areal mass, and the available deformation space with a corresponding parameter of the parameterization, selecting one armoring material for the wall from the plurality of armoring materials based on a result of comparing, and manufacturing a wall by supplementing the selected armoring material to a basic wall structure.

A pressurized aircraft fuselage includes a pressure bulkhead installed on a fuselage structure, which forms a barrier between an internal pressurized cabin area and an outside area, wherein the edge of the pressure bulkhead is circumferentially attached to the fuselage structure by fastening means, wherein the fastening means include a pair of ring-shaped attachment frames made of an open or hollow profile, which are disposed at each side of the pressure bulkhead respectively, in order to form a clamping connection for the pressure bulkhead towards the fuselage structure.

The present invention provides a flat speaker, in particular in the aerospace sector, with a panel for generating acoustic signals by vibration of the same, and a vibration exciter which is connected to a panel and excites this to vibrate. Here the panel has an edge stiffening. This provides the panel with the required stiffness, particularly against hand pressures, but at the same it guarantees high energy efficiency of the flat speaker.

Flat speaker

The present invention relates to an oscillator, particularly for or in a flat loudspeaker, particularly for use in the aerospace field, comprising an oscillating part carrier, a coupling ring for coupling the oscillator to a sound converter of a loudspeaker, wherein the oscillating part carrier and the coupling ring are connected to each other via a detachable quick-release closure, comprising first closing elements for a locked, secure connection in relation to vibrations and second closing elements that are separate from the first closing elements, for a secure connection between the oscillating part carrier and the coupling ring. The invention further relates to a flat loudspeaker comprising such an oscillator and to a vehicle comprising such a flat loudspeaker.

An audio system for an aircraft passenger cabin and a method for controlling such an audio system for providing passengers with information programs, in which multiple loudspeakers are each disposed at a predefined loudspeaker location in the aircraft cabin, and an audio signal having at least one audio channel is reproduced via the loudspeakers wherein the at least one audio channel is output by a central processing unit to the multiple loudspeakers in the aircraft cabin via a bus system having multiple distribution units and multiple cabin units.

Audio system for a passenger aircraft and method for controlling same

A loudspeaker system for an aircraft cabin for passengers has a support structure, which includes multiple flexible flat elements, forming the internal walls of the cabin, and fastening devices for fastening flat elements to the support structure, so that the flat elements may oscillate. At least one acoustic driver is connected to one or more flat elements, to induce a bending movement in the one or more flat elements. The particular flat element may oscillate as an acoustic diaphragm. The acoustic driver has a film-shaped piezoelectric exciter, which is bonded flatly to the flat element. The flat element bonded to an exciter has a first cover layer, a second cover layer, and a core layer between them. The core layer is subdivided in a plane parallel to the first and second cover layers by a horizontal incision in at least one predefined area.
