Abstract
A passenger aircraft (10) comprising a pressurised cabin, which comprises a top volume (13) and a passenger deck (12), the passenger deck (12) comprising at least one passenger compartment (14) separated from the rest of the passenger volume (16) by walls (15), is characterised in that a burstable wall (22) that extends below the ceiling (19) of the passenger volume and defines the passenger compartment (14) is arranged so as to be adjacent to the side wall (20), the space (23) between the burstable wall (22) and the side wall (20) being open towards the top volume (13) and forming a common pressure chamber therewith.
Claims15
A passenger aircraft, comprising:
- a pressurised cabin having a length,
- wherein the pressurized cabin is enclosed laterally and vertically by a side wall,
- wherein at least a portion of the length of the pressurized cabin comprises:
- a top volume;
- and
- a passenger deck;
- and
- a lower deck,
- wherein the top volume and the passenger deck are separated vertically by a passenger deck ceiling,
- wherein the passenger deck and the lower deck are separated vertically by a passenger deck floor,
- wherein the top volume extends laterally from a first section of the side wall to a second section of the side wall,
- wherein the passenger deck extends laterally from the first section of the side wall to the second section of the side wall,
- wherein the lower deck extends laterally from the first section of the side wall to the second section of the side wall,
- wherein the top volume has a first volume,
- wherein the passenger deck has a passenger deck volume,
- wherein the passenger deck comprises:
- at least one passenger compartment,
- wherein the at least one passenger compartment has a corresponding at least one passenger compartment volume,
- wherein each passenger compartment of the at least one passenger compartment is separated from the rest of the passenger deck by a corresponding one or more walls of a corresponding at least one one or more walls,
- wherein each passenger compartment of the at least one passenger compartment comprises a burstable wall of a corresponding at least one burstable wall,
- wherein each burstable wall of the at least one burstable wall that extends within the corresponding passenger compartment from the passenger deck ceiling to the passenger deck floor and separates a connection space of a corresponding at least one connection space of the corresponding passenger compartment from the remainder of the corresponding passenger compartment of,
- wherein each connection space of the at least one connection space extends laterally from the side wall to the burstable wall,
- wherein each connection space of the at least one connection space opens to the top volume and forms a common pressure chamber therewith.
