Abstract:
An aircraft rear structure that comprises a rear pressure bulkhead, and a lifting surface located at both sides of the fuselage of the aircraft. The lifting surface comprises spars extending in the longitudinal direction of the lifting surface. The pressure bulkhead is aligned with one of the spars of the lifting surface.
Abstract:
An internal shield inside the rear fuselage of an aircraft having a propulsion system formed by two engines mounted on each side of it. The internal shield is located in a suitable place inside the rear fuselage for covering the possible trajectories of fragments detached from one of the engines in a failure event that would impact critical elements of the opposite engine. The internal shield comprises an ensemble of fluid containers belonging to aircraft sub-systems, such as, particularly, the potable water and waste water sub-systems, with enough fluid for providing the energy absorption capability required for stopping the fragments. An aircraft having the internal shield is also disclosed.

Abstract:
A self-destruction device adapted to be installed in a propeller blade, the self-destruction device including a detector adapted to detect a release of the propeller blade, a warning mechanism adapted to send a release alarm in the event of the detector detecting release of the propeller blade, and a destruction mechanism adapted to destroy the propeller blade in the event of receiving a release alarm from the warning mechanism. An engine and an aircraft are also provided.
Abstract:
An aircraft fuselage frame including a central element adapted to be located within the perimeter of the fuselage, and two lateral extensions projecting outside the perimeter of the fuselage from both sides of the central element that are a portion of a longitudinal structure of a lifting surface. The central element and the two lateral extensions are configured as an integrated piece.
Abstract:
The disclosure refers to a propeller blade for an aircraft engine that includes an airbag system contained inside the blade and comprising at least one bag and at least one gas generator, the at least one gas generator in fluid communication with at least one bag for inflating the bag, a detecting system for detecting a rupture of a part of the blade, a trigger for activating the at least one gas generator when the rupture is detected by the detecting system, and the blade skin being configured for allowing the at least one bag to pass through the blade skin for being expanded outside the blade upon the bag inflation by the gas generator.
Abstract:
Internal shield in the rear fuselage of an aircraft having a propulsion system formed by two engines mounted on each side of it; the rear fuselage having at least a vertical symmetry plane; the rear fuselage being made of a composite material; the internal shield being located in said vertical symmetry plane and extended in an area that covers the possible trajectories of a set of pre-defined fragments detached from one of said engines in a failure event that would impact on critical elements of the opposite engine; the internal shield having a flat shape and an energy absorption capability that allows stopping said fragments. The invention also refers to a method for determining the area of an internal shield and to an aircraft having said internal shield.

Abstract:
An aircraft fuselage comprising a pressurized cabin and an unpressurized rear section separated by a rear pressure bulkhead. The bulkhead comprises flat portions forming one or more kinks between them. One of the kinks is contiguous to a rear border of a floor that divides a space of the pressurized cabin into upper and lower compartments.
