Abstract:
A coupling element for connecting stringers in the process of joining two fuselage sections by means of at least one transverse splicing plate, wherein in each case the fuselage sections on the inside comprise a multitude of stringers arranged on fuselage skins, as well as annular frame elements, wherein the coupling element comprises a base flange and a frame element flange, and by way of the coupling element in each case a connection between the opposing stringers, the annular frame element and the fuselage skins or the transverse splicing plate takes place so that the coupling element beyond a connection of the stringer base also supports the connection of stringers on the flank side.
Abstract:
In the case of a fiber composite component for energy absorption in the event of a crash for an aircraft or spacecraft, the fiber composite component is formed as a laminate construction made of CFRP layers and at least one integrated metal foil portion which is corrosion-resistant with respect to the CFRP layers. A fuselage structure portion of an aircraft or spacecraft is formed using at least one fiber composite component of this type. An aircraft or spacecraft comprises a fuselage structure portion of this type.
Abstract:
A connection arrangement for connecting a first and second reinforcing element of an aircraft or spacecraft, the reinforcing elements each have profiled cross-sections comprising at least one foot portion and at least one web portion. They are spaced from one another at their end connection faces by a strap element. The connection arrangement comprises at least one foot portion connection element, which can be adjusted and firmly joined on one side to the geometrical shape of the foot portion of the first reinforcing element, on the other side to the geometrical shape of the foot portion of the second reinforcing element and to the interposed strip element, and comprising at least one web coupling element, which can be adjusted and firmly joined on one side to the geometrical shape of the web portion of the first reinforcing element, and on the other side to the strap element. A shell component of an aircraft or spacecraft comprises at least two shell elements connected to a strap element at a transverse seam, which shell elements each comprise at least a first and second reinforcing element which, in turn, are connected to a connection arrangement.
Abstract:
A component arrangement on an aircraft structure, in particular on a fuselage structure of an aircraft, with at least one mounting structure connected with the aircraft structure, and at least one component to be assigned to the aircraft structure, in particular a measuring device. At least one component carrier is provided to receive the component to be mounted, wherein the component carrier is connected with the mounting structure, and an outer surface of the component carrier, facing away from the component, extends approximately flush with an outer surface of the aircraft structure. Also a method for the installation of a component into an aircraft structure with a mounting structure including the step of connecting the component with the mounting structure via a component carrier, so that an outer surface of the component carrier, facing away from the component, extends approximately flush with an outer surface of the aircraft structure.
Abstract:
A connecting arrangement for connecting two reinforcing elements of an aircraft or spacecraft, wherein the reinforcing elements have different cross-sectional profiles with at least one foot portion and at least one comb portion, at least one foot portion connecting element which on one side can be adapted to the geometric shape of the foot portion of the first reinforcing element and on the opposite side can be adapted to the geometric shape of the foot portion of the second reinforcing element and can be connected rigidly thereto; and at least one comb portion connecting element which on one side can be adapted to the geometric shape of the comb portion of the first reinforcing element and on the opposite side can be adapted to the geometric shape of the comb portion of the second reinforcing element and can be connected rigidly thereto.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a shell component for an aircraft or spacecraft. The shell component comprises a skin panel, a plurality of stringers which are arranged on the skin panel, a former which comprises a fibre composite material and is arranged over the stringers so as to cross said stringers, and a former connection structure which comprises a ductile material and a plurality of foot portions fixed to the skin panel. The foot portions each transition integrally into a shoulder portion fixed to the former over an associated fixing span, the fixing spans associated with the foot portions extending along the former substantially continuously over the stringers.
