A window unit for an aircraft includes a wall module having a side wall laterally delimiting an aircraft cabin. The side wall has a window opening and the wall module has retaining portions. A window module has a window frame accommodating at least one windowpane and the window module has fastening portions. A fastening configuration fastens the window module on the side wall in a region of the window opening. The fastening configuration is formed by a respective fastening portion engaging with a respective retaining portion. The retaining portions and the fastening portions are movable into a plug-in position by a plug-in movement of the window module and are movable from the plug-in position into a securing position by a rotary movement of the window module. The wall module and the window module are interconnected by a form-locking connection in the securing position.

A dual-occupancy aircraft minisuite incorporating a modular multiple-egress door assembly is disclosed. In embodiments, the dual-occupancy minisuite can accommodate two passengers in enhanced privacy. Access to (and egress from) the minisuite is through the modular multiple-egress door assembly, which provides forward and rear (relative to the egress gap between) sets of outer, intermediate, and inner doors. The outer doors translate laterally along rails in the intermediate doors, and the intermediate doors likewise translate laterally along rails in the inner doors, to open the minisuite for passenger access or direct view (or to close the minisuite for enhanced privacy). The forward and rear sets of doors are proportioned such that when any forward or rear translating door is jammed in a closed position, the remaining egress gap is of sufficient width to provide a distinct and independent emergency egress path for each occupying passenger of at least minimum required width.

A hinge assembly of a system for operating a door of an aircraft includes a bracket secured to a structure of the aircraft. The bracket includes a first forward joint and a first aft joint separated by a first distance. A forward link is coupled to the first forward joint. An aft link is longer than the forward link, and is coupled to the first aft joint. A door coupler is secured to a door. The door coupler includes a second forward joint and a second aft joint separated by a second distance that is less than the first distance. The forward link is further coupled to the second forward joint, and the aft link is further coupled to the second aft joint.

Aircraft door including a support arm (10) connecting a door leaf (5) and a door frame (13), the locking/unlocking mechanism of which includes: a control shaft (17) extending along a substantially vertical axis; a guide track (29); an actuating finger (32) attached to the support arm (10); the locking/unlocking mechanism having: an actuating configuration in which the actuating finger (32) is inserted into the guide track (29), the rotation of the control shaft (17) causing the actuating finger (32) to move along the guide track (29); a release configuration in which the actuating finger (32) is outside the guide track (29).

An aircraft pressurized cabin door (1) having an outer panel (2) and a door structure (3) including: two circumferential beams (4) fastened to the lateral edges of the door; a plurality of longitudinal beams (5a, 5b) which are arranged substantially perpendicularly between the circumferential beams (4) and are fastened to the outer panel (2), each longitudinal beam (5a, 5b) extending from one circumferential beam (4) to the other. At least one longitudinal beam (5b) is a beam that has a variable cross-section which increases from the ends (B, M) of the beam to the center (H, L) of the beam, with two bent support bars.

An aircraft door including a retaining device for a deployable evacuation device (6), the retain9ng device having at least: a beam (8); a first retention member (10) fixed on a second end (11) of the beam (8) by a detachable clip (16, 17), the first retention member (10) being connected to the deployable evacuation device (6); a second retention member (12), which can be coupled to the first retention member (10), mounted on the door frame (3); retraction devices (22, 23, 25) that can move between: an activated position, in which the second retention member (12) is on the trajectory of the first retention member (10), and a deactivated position, in which the second retention member (12) is outside the trajectory of the first retention member (10).

An aircraft cabin section with an aircraft door, a cabin floor, and at least one lining mounted to the aircraft door. The aircraft cabin section further comprises at least one seal that is mounted to the at least one lining and seals a space between the at least one lining and the cabin floor. This prevents a cold air draft from entering the aircraft cabin.

A galley insert is provided. The galley insert comprising: a housing and a door. The housing is made from a first material that comprises: a first layer of continuous-fibre reinforced thermoplastic, CFRT, a second layer of CFRT, and a foam core arranged between the first and second layers of CFRT. The second layer forms an outermost surface of the housing. A method of making a galley insert is also provided.

The disclosure provides a penetrating high wing structure of civil aircraft with blended-wing-body, wherein the structure comprises a left wing, a right wing and a high wing penetrating central wing. The left wing and the right wing are symmetrically arranged and connected to two sides of the high wing penetrating central wing through fasteners respectively, and the high wing penetrating central wing is arranged on the top of the main body. The left wing and the right wing both comprise wing ribs and wing spars that are arranged in a crisscross way. The disclosure proposes a penetrating high wing structure, wherein the wing and the body are designed as a whole so that the wings will not damage the continuity of the internal space of the body, which improves the load transfer efficiency of the structure and reduces the fasteners used for connection, thus reducing the weight of the body.

An aircraft windshield wiper system includes a wiper arm, a wiper blade coupled to a distal end of the wiper arm, and a drive shaft coupled to a proximal end of the wiper arm. The wiper blade is configured to clean water, dirt, and other debris from the windshield of the aircraft. The drive shaft is configured to rotate and cause the wiper arm with the coupled wiper blade to sweep across the windshield. The wiper arm includes both composite and metal components to reduce the weight of the windshield wiper system while also providing lightning strike protection.
