Problems solved by technology

Also this leads to an increase in weight which should only be saved by using CFK parts compared to metal parts
This results in a substantial reduction in the actual weight advantage of CFK structures in known fuselages

Embodiment Construction

[0032] exist figure 1 A fuselage structural component 1 according to the invention is shown in detail in . The fuselage structural part 1 , which can be formed, for example, as a shell part or fuselage cylinder, has an outer shell or outer shell plate 2 and an inner frame structure 3 , in particular an inner shell or inner shell plate 3 . Said fuselage structural element 1 is then connected to the aircraft fuselage by means of rivets or other suitable fastening means, as known in the prior art. In this case, at least one foam layer 4 is arranged between the outer shell 2 and the inner shell 3 . The foam layer 4 is fastened on the outer shell 2 and / or the inner shell 3 by, for example, bonding.

[0033] Such as figure 1 As shown, the fuselage structural component 1 has an inner shell 3 forming a frame 5 . In this case the inner shell 3 can be formed as a one-piece lining, wherein the inner shell 3 can consist, for example, of a single piece of CFK prepreg. Optionally, the ...

Abstract

The present invention creates a fuselage structural component (1) of an aircraft or spacecraft, with a non- load-bearing outer skin (2) and a load-bearing inner framework structure (3), wherein a foam layer (4) which effects heat insulation and / or impact protection is arranged between the outer skin (2) and the inner framework structure (3).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a structural fuselage component for an aircraft or a dirigible, in which at least one foam layer is provided, said foam layer forming a thermal insulation layer. Background technique [0002] In cruising flight, the ambient temperature is typically around -50°C. Previous building materials used for fuselage construction absorbed this temperature over time with a corresponding surface temperature inside the fuselage. Therefore, a thermal insulation layer is provided on the inner side for the protection of passengers. However, this is exposed to air circulation. As a result, warm cabin air is continuously cooled on the cold inner surfaces of the fuselage structure. In this way, a large amount of condensed water cannot be avoided. The structure forces regular re-drying of the insulation, which traps 400 kg of moisture. Furthermore, protective measures against corrosion must be implemented and must be checked regularly. In th...
