20220073184 · 2022-03-10 ·

An aircraft is equipped with an auxiliary access control barrier (AACB) to prevent access to an area of the aircraft. The AACB includes laterally extendable door panels that are slidably attached to each other to vary a width of the AACB, a hinge by which the door panels are pivotably attached to the aircraft, such that the door panels are pivotable between a deployed position, in which the door panels are positioned across the opening to prevent passage through the opening and in which the AACB has a first width, and a stowed position, in which the door panels are positioned to allow passage through the opening and in which the AACB has a second width, and one or more locks to prevent relative motion between the door panels to fix the width of the AACB and/or to secure the AACB within the opening in the bulkhead.

Aircraft windowed structure

A windowed structure includes a body having a frame with an outer wall extending between a first end and a second end. An inner wall extends from the outer wall. The inner wall is connected to the outer wall at the first end to define a proximal joint of the body delimiting a window opening extending through the body. A window element covers the window opening and defines an outer window surface and an inner window surface. The window element has an overlap segment overlaying the outer wall and attached thereto. An unobstructed portion of the window element is defined between the overlap segment and is unobstructed by the frame between the proximal joint.

A passenger suite configuration including a suite entrance formed between spaced walls and a flexible privacy panel moveable between a stowed position leaving open the suite entrance and a deployed position closing the suite entrance, wherein a portion of the flexible privacy panel is moveable out of a plane of the opening by way of force against the flexible privacy panel, for example, during emergency exit from the suite.

System for detecting an overpressure in the interior of an aircraft

A system for detecting overpressure in an aircraft including a door with a door frame and a door leaf with a first and second door leaf face. The door is mountable in an aircraft where the first door leaf face faces the interior and the second door leaf face faces the surroundings of the aircraft. The door leaf is movably attached to the door frame and selectively movable between an opened position where a door opening defined by the door frame is accessible and a closed position where the door leaf closes off the door opening. The door has a pair of contact faces including a first contact face on the door leaf and a second contact face on the door frame. In the closed position, the first contact face bears on the second contact face such that, when a compressive force is applied to the first door leaf face in the direction of the second door leaf face, movement of the door leaf is counteracted and contact force between the first contact face and the second contact face of each pair increases as the compressive force increases.
