    Abstract: There is disclosed an emergency door positionable in an exit opening of an aircraft. The door has door supports mountable to the lower wall and each having a pivot point. A first pivot axis is defined between the pivot points. A block is mountable to the lower wall and is offset from a center of the lower wall. A door body is mountable within the opening to the door supporting structure and pivotally mountable to the door supports. The door body is pivotable about the first pivot axis from an initial position in which the door body is within the opening, until the door body is disengaged from the door supports. A bottom portion of the door body abuts against the block to define a removal pivot point. The door body is pivotable about the removal pivot point to remove the door body from the exit opening.

    Abstract: A cushioning element for use in a vehicle, for example in an aircraft, includes at least one tuned absorber embedded within the cushioning element. The tuned absorber is tuned to absorb noise at a predetermined frequency of at least 20 Hz. A method of providing noise absorption within a cabin of a vehicle includes determining a predetermined frequency of at least 20 Hz of an undesirable noise within the cabin, and configuring an internal structure of a cushioning element to define a tuned absorber tuned to absorb noise at the predetermined frequency, the cushioning element in use being located in the cabin.

    Abstract: A system and method for determining a remaining useful life of an ozone converter of an aircraft are disclosed. The method comprises using flight data of the aircraft and location-based ozone exposure data to determining a cumulative ozone exposure for the ozone converter. The cumulative ozone exposure and a predetermined ozone exposure capacity of the ozone converter are used to determine a remaining useful life of the ozone converter. Based on the determined remaining useful life of the ozone converter, an indication that the ozone converter is approaching an end-of-useful-life condition is provided.
