The bay includes walls that form a pressure barrier, of which there are two lateral panels mechanically secured to the floor by load-reacting members, an upper panel adjacent to the floor and extending between the lateral panels, and a rear panel extending between the upper panel and the fuselage. | 06-13-2013 |
20130146710 | AIRCRAFT NOSE STRUCTURE WITH LANDING GEAR COMPARTMENT - An aircraft nose structure includes a fuselage and a pressuretight bulkhead fixed at its periphery to the fuselage and transversely dividing the fuselage into a pressurized upper zone and an unpressurized lower zone for accommodating retractable nose landing gear. The pressuretight bulkhead includes a floor of the pressurized upper zone, and a substantially flat rear panel extending between a rear edge of the floor and the fuselage. The floor and the rear panel are fixed laterally to the fuselage. The fuselage includes an exterior wall and reinforcing transverse frames to which the exterior wall is fixed. In line with the pressuretight bulkhead, at least some of the transverse reinforcing frames extend along the outline of the pressurized upper zone and constitute members that reinforce the pressuretight bulkhead. | 06-13-2013 |

System for the implementation of the above welding process, which includes three welding heads arranged as a triangle, each of which includes a rotating pin as well as a shoulder extending at the base of said rotating pin. | 03-13-2014 |
20140175215 | FLYING WING WITH SIDE CARGO COMPARTMENT - Optimization of the use of the available volume in a flying wing for commercial passenger transport, in particular for short- or medium-haul routes. A flying wing is provided including a passenger cabin together with at least one hold for the transport of luggage and/or goods, in which the hold is positioned laterally relative to said passenger cabin. | 06-26-2014 |
20140175218 | AIRPLANE WITH A FUSELAGE HAVING SIDE OUTGROWTH DELIMITING STORAGE SPACES - An aircraft of which the transversal section of the fuselage is reduced optimally at the price of a reduced carrying capacity of luggage or merchandise but adapted to short- and medium-haul type routes. The fuselage has for this purpose lateral protuberances defining storage areas arranged on either side of a passenger cabin and able to house luggage and/or merchandise, and/or onboard service equipment, and/or removable fuel tanks. | 06-26-2014 |
20140186559 | SELF-STIFFENED SKIN FOR AIRCRAFT FUSELAGE INCLUDING STRINGERS WITH A CLOSED SECTION AND ASSOCIATED MANUFACTURING METHOD - Simplification of the manufacture of composite material fuselages for aircraft, as well as mass reduction of fuselage sections and space optimization inside such fuselage sections. To accomplish this, it is proposed to use stringers of a new type which have a closed transverse section, and which are thus able to be self-positioned relative to one another by being positioned edge-to-edge on a stringer supporting structure, such as the outer surface of a mandrel. The installation of the stringers in grooves of conjugate shape is by this means made unnecessary. The stringers have cut-outs located between circumferential frames, and are able to house utility systems. | 07-03-2014 |
20140319274 | AIRCRAFT INCLUDING A PASSENGER CABIN EXTENDING AROUND A SPACE DEFINED OUTSIDE THE CABIN AND INSIDE THE AIRCRAFT - The sealed bottoms of aircraft passenger cabin have to be fastened with heavily sized fasteners so as to withstand loads induced by the cabin pressurization. Besides, the increase in aircrafts seating capacity makes an increase in passenger cabin widths of interest. Such a width increase however makes the structure delimiting passenger cabin less resistant to efforts induced by the cabin pressurization. The present invention proposes an aircraft wherein the structure delimiting passenger cabin extends over 360 degrees around a space defined outside structure. The invention allows structure to be more resistant to loads induced by the cabin pressurization, while allowing to reduce or even to avoid the need for a sealed bottom, and while allowing to increase the space available for passengers. | 10-30-2014 |
20140346276 | SUPPORT PLATE FOR THE PASSAGE OF SYSTEMS BETWEEN TWO ZONES WITH DIFFERENT PRESSURIZATIONS OF AN AIRCRAFT - A support plate for the passage of systems between two zones at different pressurizations of an aircraft, in the region of a bulkhead separating the two zones. The support plate comprises a connection plate including at least one retaining element and at least one sealing joint and is provided with a plurality of holes intended for the passage of an assembly of systems which have to pass through said bulkhead. | 11-27-2014 |
