This invention relates to a floor (4) for an aircraft, and preferably a cockpit floor, this floor comprising a plurality of spars (14) running along a longitudinal direction (X) of the aircraft and a plurality of cross-beams (16) assembled to the spars and running along a transverse direction (Y) of the aircraft, the floor also comprising attachment means (64) for assembly onto a sealed bottom (68) of the aircraft. According to the invention, the attachment means comprise a plurality of fastener...

The invention relates to an aircraft tire with a tread having a running surface of a rubber composition which contains elastomers of which a major portion is a specialized cis 1,4-polybutadiene elastomer and a minor portion is cis 1,4-polyisoprene rubber and which contains reinforcement filler comprised of a combination of precipitated silica and defined rubber reinforcing carbon black.

An architectural archway for an aircraft. The archways can be positioned individually, or in pairs or other sets along the length of an aircraft fuselage. The archways are used to run or connect various transport elements, such as electrical wiring, water lines, and environmental control system conduits, between the upper crown, lower bay and passenger cabin of the aircraft. The invention simplifies installation complexity and eliminates the installation and variability associated with running t...

A seat for aircraft provided with integrated components for the user's comfort includes an outboard armrest to which is mounted a folding table that is movable between a stowed position where it lies on top of the armrest to an operational position. The armrest also includes a monitor and other components.

A hybrid aircraft is taught having VTOL, R-VTOL and S-STOL capabilities. The aircraft has a lifting body hull and four wing sections arranged in tandem which are pivotally moveable about their neutral axis. Each wing section has mounted thereon a pivotal propeller-rotor assembly for providing thrust substantially in a range between horizontal and vertical. The wings and propellers are integrated to the hull by an outrigger designed to be very stiff and to distribute forces from the wings and pro...

In a wing with wing shells with good shear strength made of fibrous composite materials, particularly fiber-reinforced plastics, for aircraft, members taking up tensile and compressive forces are attached to the inside of the wing shells. These members have unidirectional fibers extending longitudinally of the wing. Stringers spaced longitudinally of the wing are provided on the inside of the wing shells, their fiber component being formed by a fiber ply joined to the fiber ply of the wing shell...

The present invention relates to a device for a motorized aircraft, said device having a room for containing an inspection apparatus, said device comprising at least two elements, a first element absorbing essentially vibrations with a frequency higher than a specific frequency, while the second element absorbs essentially vibrations with a frequency lower then said specific frequency, said first and second elements being linked together and placed the one with respect to the other, so that the ...

An intercostal for an aircraft for dissipating a load from a first frame onto a second frame and/or a skin of the aircraft, the intercostal having a framework.

An aircraft divan, for use within a passenger compartment of an aircraft, that includes a strong rigid base structure adapted to be secured to a support surface within the aircraft and including a plurality of substantially strong, yet lightweight frame members. A plurality of substantially strong, yet lightweight connectors, each one of the connectors being structured and disposed to connectingly receive at least two of the frame members, including an exterior wall structure defining at least o...

In a novel hovering aircraft, an airfoil blade structure rotatable about a vertical axis comprises a set of upper blades and a set of lower blades, all having variable lift, the upper blades converging toward the lower blades from root to tip. Struts, located inboard of the blade tips, keep the tips of the upper and lower blades separate from each other to reduce interference effects, and also support motors and propellers.
