A method applies aerodynamically functional film to a body around which complex flow occurs. The method includes: determining flow lines on a surface of the body for a predetermined surrounding flow state on a basis of a computer model of the body using a numerical flow simulation; developing at least one surface segment of the computer model provided with flow lines to form a two-dimensional surface; locating at least one coherent field in the developed surface segment having local flow directions readable at the flow lines in a predetermined angle range around a main flow direction of the respective field; and applying the aerodynamically functional film to the body within the field boundary of the at least one field located in the developed surface segment in such a way that the aerodynamically functional film is aligned along the main flow direction of the respective field.

Method for applying an aerodynamically functional film

An apparatus is for attaching an aerodynamically functional film to a surface of a body around which flow passes. The apparatus includes: a self-adhesive, redetachable positioning film having positioning aids for the exact positioning of the positioning film on the surface of the body around which flow passes and having at least one application area for the aerodynamically functional film that is to be applied.

Apparatus for attaching aerodynamically functional films and use thereof

An aerodynamic body of an aircraft with an air outlet opening and an air intake opening that communicates with the air outlet opening via an air conduit is described. A flow delivery driver device for influencing the flow within the air conduit is integrated into the air conduit. The surfaces of the aerodynamic body in the body chord direction include at least one air outlet opening in the front region of the aerodynamic body, and at least one air intake opening on the upper surface of the aerodynamic body and in the rear region of the aerodynamic body and/or on the upper surface of the aerodynamic body in the trailing edge region and/or on the lower surface of the aerodynamic body in the trailing edge region. Arrangements of a main wing and an adjustable flap, and an aircraft with such an aerodynamic body are also described.

A passenger aircraft () comprising a pressurized cabin, which comprises a top volume () and a passenger deck (), the passenger deck () comprising at least one passenger compartment () separated from the rest of the passenger volume () by walls (), is characterized in that a burstable wall () that extends below the ceiling () of the passenger volume and defines the passenger compartment () is arranged so as to be adjacent to the side wall (), the space () between the burstable wall () and the side wall () being open towards the top volume () and forming a common pressure chamber therewith.
