Abstract:
A shell component for an aircraft or spacecraft. The shell component includes a skin panel, a plurality of stringers which are arranged on the skin panel, a former which includes a fiber composite material and is arranged over the stringers so as to cross the stringers, and a former connection structure which includes 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.

Abstract:
A transverse butt connection between two fuselage sections, more particularly for creating a fuselage cell for an aircraft, can have a number of stringers arranged spaced out uniformly parallel to one another inside on an outer skin. In order to enable a universal tolerance compensation with standardised compensating means within a predetermined tolerance band between two fuselage sections which are to be joined together, both end areas of the fuselage sections can have on the inside oppositely inclined skin wedge surfaces and the connection of the two end areas is carried out by a circumferential transverse butt strap which is provided with two oppositely inclined transverse butt strap wedge surfaces in the underneath area wherein a wedge can be pushed in between each one transverse butt strap wedge surface and a skin wedge surface for tolerance compensation between the fuselage sections.
Abstract:
This invention provides a coupling method for coupling a first and a second stiffening profile element for an outer skin of an aircraft or space craft. In a first step the stiffening profile elements are arranged on the outer skin in such a manner that the stiffening profile elements oppose each other with their respective front sides and enclose within themselves a cavity. Furthermore, a fixing hole is formed through a wall of at least one of the stiffening profile elements in the cavity inside a coupling zone of the stiffening profile element. An access opening is formed through the wall in the cavity along the coupling zone. A coupling strap, which couples the stiffening profile elements together, is fastened to the coupling zone by means of a fastening element guided through the fixing hole.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an interconnection, in particular in the field of aerospace. The interconnection has a T-stringer, an Ω-stringer and a connecting arrangement. The connecting arrangement connects base sections of the T-stringer and of the Ω-stringer to one another. This provides a coupling of an Ω-stringer to a T-stringer which is comparatively insensitive with respect to tolerances relating to the orientation of the Ω-stringer in relation to the T-stringer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a transverse butt connection (1, 24) between two fuselage sections (2, 3, 25, 26), more particularly for creating a fuselage cell for an aircraft, with a number of stringers (41, 42) arranged spaced out uniformly parallel to one another inside on an outer skin (4, 5, 27, 28).In order to enable a universal tolerance compensation with standardised compensating means within a predetermined tolerance band between two fuselage sections which are to be joined together, it is proposed according to the invention that both end areas (6, 7, 29, 30) of the fuselage sections (2, 3, 25, 26) have on the inside oppositely inclined skin wedge faces (8, 9) and the connection of the two end areas (6, 7, 29, 30) is carried out by a circumferential transverse butt strap (10, 31) which is provided with two oppositely inclined transverse butt strap wedge faces (12, 13) in the underneath area (11) wherein a wedge (14, 15, 33, 34) can be pushed in between each one transverse butt strap wedge face (12, 130) and a skin wedge face (8, 9) for tolerance compensation between the fuselage sections (2, 3, 25, 26).
