Abstract
The integration of a hinged door with a door leaf in a non-pressurized aircraft. The non-pressurized aircraft includes a canopy frame with a canopy frame cross-section profile. The canopy frame cross section profile has first and second canopy frame faces that are arranged at a predetermined angle relative to each other, and a third canopy frame face that is arranged between the first and second canopy frame faces. The non-pressurized aircraft further includes a hinge that is entirely arranged within the outline of the non-pressurized aircraft and pivotally mounts the door leaf to the third canopy frame face.

A non-pressurized aircraft with an outline, comprising:
- a door leaf;
- a canopy frame with a canopy frame cross-section profile that comprises:
- first and second canopy frame faces that are arranged at a predetermined angle relative to each other, and
- a third canopy frame face that is arranged between the first and second canopy frame faces;
- a hinge that is entirely arranged within the outline of the non-pressurized aircraft and pivotally mounts the door leaf to the third canopy frame face;
- and
- a windshield that is attached to the first canopy frame face of the canopy frame cross-section profile.
A non-pressurized aircraft with an outline, comprising:
- a door leaf;
- a canopy frame with a canopy frame cross-section profile that comprises:
- first and second canopy frame faces that are arranged at a predetermined angle relative to each other, and
- a third canopy frame face that is arranged between the first and second canopy frame faces;
- a hinge that is entirely arranged within the outline of the non-pressurized aircraft and pivotally mounts the door leaf to the third canopy frame face;
