An aircraft cabin door system has a cabin door having an outer side and an inner side, a drive device coupled to the cabin door for moving the cabin door into an open position, a first actuation device, a second actuation device, and an emergency chute unit coupled to the cabin door and having an emergency chute and an actuation mechanism. The emergency chute unit can be moved into an active state, in which opening the cabin door leads to activation of the emergency chute, and an inactive state, in which opening the cabin door does not lead to activation of the emergency chute. The emergency chute unit is in the inactive state when the cabin door is opened after actuation of the first actuation device. The emergency chute unit is in the active state when the cabin door is opened after actuation of the second actuation device.

Cabin door system for an aircraft and an aircraft having at least one such cabin door system

A system for detecting overpressure in an aircraft including a door with a door frame and a door leaf with a first and second door leaf face. The door is mountable in an aircraft where the first door leaf face faces the interior and the second door leaf face faces the surroundings of the aircraft. The door leaf is movably attached to the door frame and selectively movable between an opened position where a door opening defined by the door frame is accessible and a closed position where the door leaf closes off the door opening. The door has a pair of contact faces including a first contact face on the door leaf and a second contact face on the door frame. In the closed position, the first contact face bears on the second contact face such that, when a compressive force is applied to the first door leaf face in the direction of the second door leaf face, movement of the door leaf is counteracted and contact force between the first contact face and the second contact face of each pair increases as the compressive force increases.

System for detecting an overpressure in the interior of an aircraft

A display device for displaying an activation status of an emergency chute in an aircraft has an optical display device, an acoustic signal device, a sensor for sensing proximity of a person to the display device, and an electronic unit. The electronic unit is configured to operate the optical display device or the acoustic signal device when the detected proximity of a person is less than a predetermined limit distance. The optical display device, the acoustic signal device, the sensor, and the electronic unit form a compact unit that can be integrated into a door panel of an aircraft door.

Retrofittable display device for displaying an activation status of an emergency chute in an aircraft

An indicating device for indicating a non-authorized opening of an aircraft door comprising a sensor for detecting a distance from the sensor to an object, a signaling device, a reset device coupled to the signaling device allowing the signaling device to be set into a first state following a reset operation, an enabling device, providing as an output signal, selectively, a disable signal and an enable signal, and a control device connected to the sensor, the signaling device and the enabling device. On receiving the disable signal, the control device changes into a first operating mode and on receiving the enable signal it changes into a second operating mode in which, based upon the signal received from sensor, it detects a distance change between the sensor and the object, and, on detecting a change, sets the signaling device into a second state until the reset operation is completed.

Indication device as well as door arrangement and aircraft with such an indication device

A flight deck door assembly for an aircraft includes a flight deck bulkhead defining an access opening from a passenger deck area to a flight deck area of the aircraft, a lavatory bulkhead spaced apart from the flight deck bulkhead and defining a lavatory monument, a first lock containment arranged in a first portion of the flight deck bulkhead opposite to a door jamb formed by a second portion of the flight deck bulkhead, a second lock containment arranged in the lavatory bulkhead, and a flight deck door having a door blade hingedly coupled to the door jamb. The flight deck door is configured to latch to the first lock containment in a first closing position and to latch to the second lock containment in a second closing position.

Flight deck door assembly

A system for operating an aircraft door includes an operating handle having a lever and a grip, a slide arming means movable between a first position representing an armed state and a second position representing a disarmed state, a control unit coupled with the slide arming means, warning means arranged in the vicinity of the slide arming means and a sensor. The sensor is adapted for detecting the proximity of a hand of a user in a field around the grip, which field covers a distance of at least 10 cm and not exceeding 50 cm to the grip, and for producing a proximity signal representing the proximity of a hand of a person. The control unit is adapted for operating the warning means on receiving the proximity signal of the sensor to attention to the slide arming means when the slide arming means is in the first position.

Apparatus for operating a door of an aircraft, an aircraft having such an apparatus and method for operating a door of an aircraft

The present invention provides a device for providing an aircraft flight status signal which indicates whether the aircraft is in the air or on the ground, which device calculates the flight status signal as a function of a number of differently provided flight speed signals, a number of differently provided engine status signals, a number of differently provided evacuation signals, a number of differently provided front undercarriage status signals and a number of differently provided main undercarriage status signals.
