A door is provided for a furniture structure of a vehicle cabin. The door includes a frame configured to expand and collapse along a longitudinal axis of the door between a collapsed position and an expanded position. The door includes a cover extending over at least a portion of the frame.

A vehicle having a door slidably mounted on a shell. The vehicle includes at least one assistance device, comprising both a winder carrying a strap and a receptacle, the winder including a brake for braking unwinding of the strap from the winder, one of the winder and receptacle being fastened to the shell and one of the winder and receptacle being fastened to the door, the strap carrying a latchplate suitable for being reversibly attached to the receptacle.

A separating element for a platform cabin is provided. The separating element comprises: at least one stationary partition, delimiting a passage defining a circulation axis inside the cabin; at least one leaf, mounted transversely movable relative to the circulation axis between a closed position, in which it extends through the passage, and an open position, in which it is positioned at least partially spaced away from the passage; and means for moving the or each leaf between the closed position and the open position thereof, the or each leaf being adapted to move along the plane transverse to the circulation axis.

A vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft provides transportation to users of a network system. The network system may include multiple aircraft or other types of vehicles to provide multi-model transportation. An aircraft may include a fuselage, a truss coupled to the fuselage, and multiple distributed electric propellers coupled to the truss. The distributed electric propellers may be positioned on at least two different planes. The fuselage may include a cabin having one or more seats for the passengers arranged in a configuration that has a compact footprint, provides legroom, provides visibility to surroundings of the aircraft, or facilitates convenient ingress or egress of passengers. The aircraft may open a port cabin door and starboard cabin door for simultaneous ingress or egress of passengers.

The invention relates to an aircraft sliding door comprising: a door leaf, which is slidable between a closed position and an open position in the opening and closing direction, respectively, and has a door top part and a door bottom part, which are arranged in a pulled-out state in the closed position and in a pushed-together state in the open position; a guide rail; and a drive device having an electric motor for assisting the movement of the door leaf from the open position to the closed position, wherein the drive device has a spindle that is connected to the electric motor and is inclined with respect to the opening and closing direction such that the door leaf is automatically transferred into the open position along the spindle when the electric motor is in a de-energised state.

A sliding closing element for a sliding closing element arrangement of a vehicle, the sliding closing element arrangement comprising at least one rail that is adapted for slidably supporting the sliding closing element, the sliding closing element comprising at least one fail safe sliding arm assembly with at least one bogie support arm and at least one safety arm, the at least one bogie support arm comprising at least one bogie assembly with at least one guide roller that is adapted for rolling along the at least one rail in operation, and the at least one safety arm being adapted for retaining the at least one fail safe sliding arm assembly on the at least one rail in case of a failure of the at least one bogie support arm.

The present invention aims at providing an arrangement for moving a door in both a swinging and a sliding manner, in which a pivoting means allows the rotation of the door around at least two axes of rotationa slide axis around which the pivoting that allows the sliding motion takes place, and a swing axis, further passing through a swing point of a guiding means intended for allowing the door to slide over a guiding rail, around which the door swings.

An aircraft having a sponson extending substantially transversely relative to a main body of the fuselage of the aircraft and substantially perpendicularly relative to a vertical anteroposterior plane of symmetry P of the main body of the fuselage when the aircraft is standing on a horizontal support, the sponson including a notch locally reducing a cross-section of the sponson in a connection zone of the sponson, the connection zone being suitable for being arranged in the immediate proximity of the main body of the fuselage of the aircraft from which the sponson emerges transversely, the notch being open at least to a front outside face and to a top outside face of the sponson and being suitable for receiving a bottom portion of a sliding side door when in its open position.

A door assembly for an aircraft includes a partition panel disposed laterally within a fuselage of the aircraft and a descender panel moveably secured to a lower end of the partition panel for selectively closing an aisle opening defined below the partition panel. The door assembly further includes a handle disposed on the partition panel that is operatively connected to the descender panel through a link mechanism such that rotation of the handle is translated into movement of the descender panel to move the descender panel between a retracted position and a deployed position.

A latch system has a pin movable along a pin axis, a control rod connected to the pin, a control wall comprising a control aperture comprising a lock hole joined to an unlock hole by a rod channel, and a control knob biased toward the pin, wherein the control knob comprises a lock tip sized to fit within each of the lock hole and the unlock hole.
