DOUBLE-CURVED AIRCRAFT DOOR WITH OPTIMISED LOCKING MEANS
20230264803 · 2023-08-24 · ·

Double-curved aircraft door having a pair of stops in contact over a contact area. The isobarycentre (31A) of each contact area of a first lateral edge is substantially arranged in a first plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (21) and the same applies to a second lateral edge. For each contact area, the normal to the contact area passing through its isobarycentre (31A, 31B) substantially passes through the axis (41) of a medium cylinder (42). For each contact area, the normal to the contact area passing through its isobarycentre (31A, 31B) forms a deflection angle with a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (21), the deflection angles of all the contact areas being equal.

DOOR FOR SEPARATING TWO ENVIRONMENTS WITH DIFFERENT PRESSURES

A door that is adapted to separating two environments with different pressures and to an aircraft with such a door. The door may include a door leaf, a door frame having a door stop and a roller, and an actuating system having a latch element and an inward-moving drive system. The inward-moving drive system may include a puller shaft and a puller that is non-rotatably attached to the puller shaft. The puller may include a guide rail that moves along the roller during a rotation of the puller such that the puller moves the door leaf in direction of the first environment thereby disengaging the latch element from the door stop.
