An instrument panel for being integrated into a cockpit of an aircraft, said instrument panel comprising a main structure, extending longitudinally and having a wall surface with a concave shape defining a concavity, said wall surface with the concavity being configured to receive a plurality of navigation control and/or monitor pieces of equipment so that the wall surface faces a front of the cockpit and an opening opposite the wall surface faces a rear of the cockpit when the instrument panel is mounted inside the cockpit, and at least one inner partition configured to delimit at least two housings each for receiving at least one of said plurality of navigation control and/or monitor pieces of equipment, the instrument panel being characterized in that the main structure is formed in one piece from a composite material.
An instrument panel for being integrated into a cockpit of an aircraft, said instrument panel comprising:
- a main structure extending longitudinally and having a wall surface of an inside face with a concave shape defining a concavity and a maximum length transverse to a length of the cockpit when mounted inside the cockpit;
- at least two spaced apart inner partitions arranged on a central portion of the main structure to define a central space having a central space length;
- at least two housings with each of the two housings located to a lateral side of two lateral sides of the central space, each of the at least two housings having a size configured for receiving at least one display device;
- wherein the main structure is formed in one piece from a composite material;
- and
- wherein the central space length is selected by a spacing between the at least two spaced apart inner partitions to distribute the at least two housings to the two lateral sides of the central space to then distribute the display devices relative to the central space when mounted inside the at least two housings.
An instrument panel for integrating into a cockpit of an aircraft, said instrument panel comprising:
- a main structure having a length orientated transversely to cockpit when mounted inside the cockpit and having a wall surface on an inside face with a concave shape defining a concavity;
- at least one inner partition and two outer inner partitions attached to the main structure;
- at least two housings with each of the two housings located laterally of a central portion of the main structure and laterally inwardly of one of the two outer inner partitions;
- an opening opposite the wall surface of each housing for receiving at least one display device, wherein the opening is oriented to face a rear portion of the cockpit when the instrument panel is positioned in the cockpit;
- and
- wherein the main structure is formed in one piece from a composite material.
