An aircraft with an aircraft fuselage, and a passenger cabin and a cockpit, where the aircraft includes a center-forward attendant space between the passenger cabin and the cockpit. A cabin crew member of the aircraft can stand in the center-forward attendant space for monitoring progress of an emergency evacuation of the aircraft. The aircraft has one or more emergency exits for providing egress of passengers from the aircraft fuselage during the emergency evacuation. The aircraft also has a situational awareness monitoring (SAM) system for use in evacuating the passengers from the aircraft during the emergency evacuation. The SAM system includes one or more imaging devices and one or more display modules, each of which displays within the passenger cabin images captured by a corresponding one of the one or more imaging devices.

Situational awareness monitoring systems and methods

A cabin structural component for a transport vehicle, in particular for an aircraft or spacecraft, has a sandwich structure that has a core and a first cover layer, the first cover layer being provided with a heat conductor that is arranged and designed for heating a cabin wall that can be produced using the cabin structural component.

An adapter rail system for mounting objects to a floor rail in a vehicle includes an elongate adapter rail element, an arresting element and a movement rail element. The adapter rail element has a surface contour having regularly consecutively arranged neckings and widenings, which surface contour corresponds to an opening contour of a floor rail, which includes regularly consecutively arranged grid openings, which are penetrated by a slit. The adapter rail element has protrusions extending perpendicular to the plane spanned by the surface contour and are each arranged in the region of a necking. The arresting element has a surface contour corresponding to the opening contour of at least one grid opening. The arresting element is dimensioned to be flush between two adjacent protrusions of the adapter rail element onto the adapter rail element. The movement rail element is connectable with the protrusions of the adapter rail element.

In order to enhance sliding movement and reconfiguration of vehicle seats while using a simple construction, a seat fastening device is provided for fastening vehicle seats in a vehicle. The seat fastening device comprises a seat rail with a T-shaped profile portion and a carriage enclosing an upper part of the T-shaped profile portion. The carriage includes a seat fixation device for fixing a vehicle seat, wherein the carriage includes a clamp arrangement for clamping the carriage onto the T-shaped profile portion. The carriage has a base body and first and second bracket clamps so that the carriage has a C-shaped channel section receiving the T-shaped profile portion. The height of the C-shaped channel section can be adjusted by at least one screw in order to clamp the carriage onto the T-shaped profile portion.

Disclosed is a securing device for providing a movable unit of a linear guiding mechanism with additional safety in that the securing device prevents the movable unit from coming off a guiding rail in case of a bearing malfunction. The securing device comprises at least one securing portion and a coupling portion for coupling the at least one securing portion to the movable unit. The securing portion is engageable with the guiding rail in case of a failure of the movable unit.

Securing device and linear guiding mechanism

To provide a simple seat fastening device with enhanced flexibility and the possibility of an easy movement of vehicle seats, a seat fastening device for fastening vehicle seats in a vehicle is provided comprising a seat track and a slider in a sliding engagement with the seat track. The slider includes a seat fixation element to fix a foot of a vehicle seat, wherein the seat track includes a C-shaped profile and the slider includes a base inserted in the C-shaped profile and wherein the slider includes a clamp to clamp the slider against an inner surface of the C-shaped profile. At least one linear roller contact bearing is located between the C-shaped profile and the slider.

An interior component for an interior room of an aircraft is provided. The interior component includes a body having a first surface and a second surface and a multitude of functional modules which form a passenger service unit. The second surface is arranged opposite to the first surface and comprises a recess. The multitude of functional modules are arranged one after another in the recess in the longitudinal direction of the interior component, such that a first front surface of the functional module arranged frontally in the longitudinal direction closes flush with a first front surface of the body.
