The invention relates to a system for monitoring and locking aircraft compartment doors (1, 2, 3, 4), characterized in that said system includes a centralized device () for controlling the locking/unlocking in the form of a central processing unit () for controlling remote bolt devices having a radio transceiver device and a plurality of remote bolt devices () for locking/unlocking said doors provided with a radio control device connected to the transceiver device of the control device.

Method for monitoring and locking aircraft compartment doors

An aircraft fuselage nose section having a secure access between the cockpit and the passenger cabin, while being compact. For that purpose, the nose section includes a separating mechanism including at least one movable element slidingly movable between: an extended closing position at which the separating mechanism bounds, with the cockpit door, a transition zone between the cockpit and the passenger cabin, and prevents people from passing between the passenger cabin and the transition zone; and a retracted opening position wherein the separating mechanism allows people to pass between the passenger cabin and the transition zone.

Aircraft nose section including a lock for accessing the cockpit

Embodiments relate to a locking and unlocking system of a separation door separating a cockpit from a cabin of an aircraft. In one embodiment, a system comprises a set of electrically controlled bolts configured to lock the door, a control unit configured to electrically control the set of bolts, a first manual control connected to the control unit, installed in the cockpit and configured to unlock the door, a second manual control connected to the control unit, installed in the cabin and configured to unlock the door, an accelerometer to detect a crash, and a switching relay to control automatic unlocking of the door when a crash of the aircraft is detected, the relay connected to the accelerometer, the control unit and the set of bolts.

A method and device for verification of identity aboard an aircraft combines a device for biometric authentication with a surveillance device making it possible to control the conditions under which biometric authentication is performed. According to complementary stages of the method of the invention, a communication device can communicate information relating to the verification of identity and whereby a state of alert is activated if the information signals an unusual situation aboard the aircraft.

Method and device for verification of identity aboard an aircraft

The invention relates to a door () designed to be inserted between a cockpit and a cabin of an aircraft, the door comprising a cockpit side () and a cabin side (). According to the invention, the door comprises at least one trapdoor () capable of closing off a passageway () passing through the door and secondly being opened towards the cabin side, the door also comprising a locking/unlocking mechanism () of the trapdoor arranged on the cockpit side and that can automatically unlock the trapdoor when the difference between a cockpit pressure and a cabin pressure corresponding to the air pressures applied on the cockpit side and the cabin side of the door respectively is greater than a predetermined value.
