A load transfer interface for a vehicle door that comprises an outer skin and at least one beam that is connected to the outer skin, wherein the outer skin and the at least one beam define a vehicle door plane, the load transfer interface comprising at least one door stop fitting that is provided to transfer pressure loads from the vehicle door to an associated vehicle structural frame, the at least one door stop fitting being provided for rotation in an associated rotation plane, wherein the associated rotation plane is at least approximately parallel to the vehicle door plane. The invention is further related to an aircraft cabin door having such a load transfer interface, as well as to an aircraft having such an aircraft cabin door.
A load transfer interface for a pressurized vehicle door that comprises an outer skin and a plurality of beams spaced parallel and connected to the outer skin, wherein the outer skin and the plurality of beams define a vehicle door plane, each beam having at least two door stop fittings to transfer pressure loads from the vehicle door to a vehicle structural frame,
An aircraft with an aircraft fuselage structure and a pressurized aircraft cabin door mounted to the aircraft fuselage structure, wherein the aircraft comprises at least one load transfer interface, the pressurized aircraft cabin door comprises an outer skin and a plurality of beams spaced parallel and connected to the outer skin, wherein the outer skin and the plurality of beams define an aircraft cabin door plane, each beam having at least two door stop fittings to transfer pressure loads from the door to the aircraft fuselage structure, wherein the plurality of beams are arranged in parallel and the door stop fittings are rotatable in a rotation plane, substantially parallel to the vehicle door plane, each of the door stop fittings being mounted in a non-rotatable manner to an actuating lever, each actuating lever connected by a lateral linkage to at least another of the door stop fittings of another of the beams, each lateral linkage connected to at least two door stop fittings from two different beams, each lateral linkage arranged in parallel, the lateral linkage providing mechanical linkages actuatable via a handle, the handle being rotatable so that rotation of the handle results in movement of the lateral linkages into movement directions, which force the door stop fittings arranged in parallel to rotate.
A load transfer interface for a pressurized vehicle door, the pressurized vehicle door comprising an outer skin and a plurality of beams, the beams being spaced parallel to each other and connected to the outer skin, the outer skin and the plurality of beams defining a vehicle door plane,
