A method for installing a wiring harness in an aircraft. The method comprises using cables having first ends secured to the harness and winding means onto each of which is wound one of said cables so as to lift up said harness by exerting a tensile force. The first ends of the cables are distributed along at least a section of the harness so as to distribute the tensile forces over the section.

An aircraft hold including a device for automated processing of luggage is provided. The device includes at least one automated arm for handling the luggage. The automated arm, which is mounted so as to be able to move in translation along the longitudinal axis of the hold of the aircraft includes a head for grasping an item of luggage. A wrapper for packaging an item of luggage for the automated processing of the item of luggage is also provided. The wrapper is in the form of a protective film and includes a grasping surface separate from but secured to the protective film. A method for automated processing of luggage in an aircraft is provided.

An integrated avionics bay in a floor area can be provided with adequate ventilation. The structure of an aircraft cockpit floor is able to integrate at least one bay, with a walking floor in the cockpit, a structural volume and a bay integrated in a space of the liberated structural volume. The bay as integrated in a horizontal position in this space includes a peripheral frame with at least one protective cover with a direct access to the bay at the floor level and a lower wall with a rear face access. Side openings formed in the frame can couple with vertical walls to allow fresh air blowing from the rear wall of the bay via a flow from rearwards to upwards to reach the top cover and an air extraction by an upper surface extractor.

Method of integrating an avionics bay and floor structure for implementation

An air extraction unit taking the form of a body, the geometric shape of which makes it easier to incorporate into an avionics bay of an aircraft. The air extraction unit derives from a multipurpose approach to the operational components of the avionics bay of an aircraft aimed at achieving weight and cost savings. All of the elements of the air extraction circuit are arranged in a compact housing of the body and are protected by the structure thereof. The air extraction unit can be used as a floor of an avionics bay that can be walked on, with a lateral organization.

An electrical core of an aircraft is provided. The electrical core includes at least one shelf on which is disposed at least one module containing components and comprising at least one input able to be linked to at least one power supply cable and at least one output able to be linked to at least one output cable. In the module, the output cable or cables travel under or in the shelf disposed under the module.

Aircraft electrical core

An electrical cabinet of an aircraft is provided. The electrical cabinet includes at least one motherboard including on a first face sockets into which are plugged PCB boards ensuring one or more electrical functions, the said electrical cabinet being linked to the electrical circuit of the aircraft organized as various electrical harnesses by way of an electrical connection system, characterized in that the electrical connection system comprises at the level of the second face of the motherboard at least one additional layer, the free face of the last additional layer comprising sockets each ensuring electrical connection with an electrical harness of the aircraft, the additional layer or layers comprising tracks which make it possible to reorganize the electrical circuits emanating from the sockets intended for the PCB boards so as to render them compliant with the sockets intended for the harnesses of the aircraft.

A toilet area for an aircraft cabin comprising an access door and housing a toilet bowl. The toilet area also comprises an evacuation exit, the access door occupying a closed position in the toilet area in a toilet configuration and a folded position in the toilet area in an evacuation configuration. Usage in particular in a flying wing aircraft is provided.

A method for automated processing of luggage in an aircraft is provided. The hold of the aircraft includes a device for automated processing of the luggage. The method includes the device for automated processing operating in an autonomous manner to load the luggage into the hold of the aircraft, with each item of luggage being packaged to this end in a packaging wrapper comprising visual markers. The method includes the device for automated processing viewing these visual markers.

Method for automated and orderly processing of luggage in an aircraft

An aircraft includes at least one wall delimiting a first zone (I) of the aircraft which is thermally insulated from the outside of the aircraft and a second zone (E) contained within the aircraft which is not thermally insulated with respect to the outside of the aircraft and a heat exchanger inside which a heat transfer fluid circulates, wherein the wall includes at least one duct inside which the heat transfer fluid circulates so as to act as a heat exchanger.

Heat exchanger incorporated into a wall of an aircraft

The present invention relates to an aircraft cockpit with a double flight deck in which a central pane of a windscreen can be removed in order to at least partially clear an opening in order to constitute an emergency exit and ensure natural ventilation of the cockpit. Moreover, a central portion of a glare shield and of a flight station instrument panel are optionally moveable in order to facilitate access to the opening in the event of the need for emergency evacuation.

Aircraft cockpit with emergency exit via a central pane

A leaktight nose cone backplate for an aircraft having a first side oriented towards a radome zone intended to house a mobile antenna, and a second side opposite the first side and oriented towards a cockpit of the aircraft. The second side has at least one recess intended to receive at least one piece of cockpit equipment, each recess being partly delimited by a backplate structure forming a protrusion on the first side.

Front aircraft sealed bottom comprising recesses for housing cockpit equipment

An integral avionics bay module. The module has a structure that has an integral cabin floor on top that closes the structure. Installing such an integral avionics bay structure in a single operation inside a primary fuselage structure considerably reduces the integration time on the final assembly line for the aircraft.

Avionics cargo hold module having an upper integrated floor

An electrical and electronics bay of an aircraft has at least two rows of systems elements, each row being separated by a single corridor extending an entire longitudinal length of the electrical and electronics bay and being devoid of the systems elements. Each row has at least one set of systems elements and at least one electrical power center, wherein the systems elements are arranged in cabinets. At least one of the cabinets includes at least one removable mobile shelf for allowing access from a front to the back of the cabinets. Bottom edges of back faces of the cabinet are arranged against the fuselage to remove an additional corridor at the back of the cabinet, and front faces of the cabinet are directly accessible from the single corridor.

Electrical and electronics bay of an aircraft with an improved architecture and aircraft incorporating said bay

An aircraft nose comprising a primary fuselage structure, and housed inside said structure, a cockpit, and an avionics bay containing a plurality of avionics racks designed to receive electrical and/or electronic equipment. The cockpit and the avionics bay are each made in the form of a distinct module that is suitable for being installed in a single operation inside the primary fuselage structure. The use of modules for integrating in the aircraft nose makes it possible to reduce considerably the time required for fitting out the nose on the final assembly line of the aircraft.
