    摘要: A system for displaying an external environment of an aircraft inside the aircraft comprises optical couplers distributed across an outer surface of a fuselage and configured to capture light from the external environment of the aircraft; optical waveguides transmit the captured light from the optical couplers through the fuselage; at least one display arranged on the inside of the fuselage; and at least one of: a processing unit configured to receive the captured light, to reconstruct a digital live image by combining optical information contained in the captured light across the respective optical couplers, and to display the digital live image on the at least one display; and an optical beam expander configured to receive the captured light, to expand the captured light into a light beam carrying a visual live image of the external environment, and to project the visual live image on the at least one display.

    摘要: A reusable seal including an antenna, an opening sensor to sense the opening of a volume to be monitored and an electronic device coupled to the antenna and configured to communicate with a reader via the antenna. The electronic device is supplied with power only by the antenna when a reader is proximate to the antenna. The seal has a memory that may assume an active state or an inactive state. The seal is configured such that the memory may be activated only by the electronic device when the device is supplied with power to store an intact seal state in the memory, and the memory may be deactivated at any time when the opening sensor is actuated to store a non-intact seal state in the memory. The seal is configured to respond to a request from a reader regarding its state according to the memory state.

    摘要: An electricity production system for an aircraft comprising a fuel cell, with an anode and a cathode, supplying an electric motor, a first feed pipe between the anode and a hydrogen source, a compressor, a second feed pipe between the inlet of the compressor and an oxygen source, a first transfer pipe between the outlet of the compressor and the cathode, a valve, an upstream pipe between the outlet of the compressor and the valve, a downstream pipe between the valve and an air outlet, and a controller which controls the position of the valve and the flow rate of the compressor. Such an electricity production system thus provides better control of the air flow supplied to the fuel cell on the basis of the electrical power required for the electric motor providing propulsion.

    摘要: A passenger aircraft includes a plurality of passenger seats arranged in seat rows, and a disembarkation guidance system. The disembarkation guidance system includes a plurality of electronically operable visual indicators, each of the plurality of electronically operable visual indicators being assigned to a respective seat row. The disembarkation guidance system further includes an indicator control device coupled to each of the electronically operable visual indicators. The indicator control device is configured to individually control electronically operable visual indicators to indicate passengers in the assigned seat row whether they are permitted to disembark the passenger aircraft.
