Aircraft door (1) having: an opening panel (2) provided with engagement abutments (26); a frame (3) intended to be attached to the fuselage (4) of the aircraft and including engagement counter-abutments (27); a hinge arm (5); a lifting lever (10); and a rotary control lever (20) which can be operated in a disengagement direction in order to unlock the opening panel (2). The door includes a one-way operating rod (18) which connects the control lever (20) to the lifting lever (10) and is designed to drive the lifting lever (10) only when the control lever (20) is actuated in the direction of disengagement.

Aircraft door (1) including an opening (4), a frame (3), a hinge structure (5) and a circular translation guide device designed to maintain the orientation of the opening (4) during the opening or closing thereof. The hinge structure (5) is connected to the opening (4) by a lifting arm (8) allowing a lifting movement of the opening (4) relative to the hinge structure (5). The circular translation guide device includes a single link (11) connected to the frame (3) by one of the ends thereof and by the other of the ends thereof to a lever (13) which is attached to the hinge structure (5).

A lock in a vehicle is automatically controlled based at least in part on a state associated with the vehicle. In response to an attempt to open a hatch using an interior release lever while in a locked state, the automatically-controlled lock in the locked state prevents the hatch from opening. In response to an attempt to open the hatch using an exterior release lever while the automatically-controlled lock is in the locked state, a bypass to the automatically-controlled lock is used to open the hatch.

A hybrid mandrel for forming a composite part may comprise a core and a sleeve located around the core. The core may include a rigid material. The sleeve may comprise an elastomeric material. The part may be formed by locating the hybrid mandrel in an injection mold, depositing a molten resin around the hybrid mandrel, curing the molten resin; and removing the hybrid mandrel.

A door system comprises a door, the door including a latch assembly configured to latch the door to a door frame to maintain the door in a closed position and to unlatch to allow the door to open to an opened position. A foot pedal is operatively connected to unlatch the latch assembly upon actuation by a user's foot. In certain embodiments, a handle can be operatively connected to unlatch the latch assembly upon actuation a user. The door system further includes the door frame and set of hinges operatively connecting the door to the door frame.

An emergency opening device for an aircraft door provided with an opening mechanism including an actuating device (2, 5) for the opening mechanism, which includes a tubular operating member (2); elastic compression device (5); an activation device (31) for the actuation device (2,5); the operating member (2) includes a first end element (10) and a second end element (11) which are freely translatable movable relative to each other along the movement axis (X).

An aircraft electric door for a pressurized airframe having a locking system for locking a safety catch, a system for moving a door arm, and an electric motor activated by a door computer to actuate both systems. The system for moving the door arm includes a guideway linked to the door arm. The guideway is in a mobile cylindrical support rotated by the electric motor. A fixed guide is fitted in a cylindrical sleeve around the cylindrical support. The fixed guide includes a vertical camway and a horizontal camway. The door arm pivots around a vertical hinge and is linked with door lifting devices. The door lifting devices are mounted between a shaft of the safety catch and the door arm.

A locking system includes a locking element which is movable between a first, locking position and a second unlocking position and an unlocking actuator for moving the locking element (from the first position to the second position over an unlocking stroke length (Su). The system further comprises a control unit configured to command the unlocking actuator to move the locking element from the first position to a third position over an anti-icing stroke length (Sa) which is shorter than the unlocking stroke length (Su).

A vehicle with at least one emergency exit system, the at least one emergency exit system comprising a jettisonable component that is accommodated and locked in an associated frame structure of the vehicle in normal operation mode and releasable from the associated frame structure for being jettisoned from the vehicle in an emergency mode; and further comprising an emergency evacuation assistance device that is adapted to assist in an emergency evacuation of the vehicle via the associated frame structure in the emergency mode; wherein the emergency evacuation assistance device is attached to the jettisonable component such that the emergency evacuation assistance device is deployed by means of the jettisonable component when the jettisonable component is jettisoned from the vehicle in the emergency mode.

An actuating system for an actuatable door and to an actuatable door having such an actuating system. The actuating system comprises a rotatable latching shaft, a rotatable locking shaft, a latching device, comprising a latch, and a locking device. The latch is adapted to maintain the actuatable door in a closed position. The locking device comprises a locking cam, that is mounted to the locking shaft and that is adapted to engage with the latch in a closed and latched position, and a latch securing lever, that is driven by the locking cam and that is adapted to engage with the latch to maintain the latch in a closed and secured position.
