Abstract
A system for automatic unlocking of a door of an aircraft in the event of impact of the aircraft includes a door opening, a door articulated on the aircraft in the door opening, and a locking arrangement designed to lock the door to the aircraft when the door is in a closed, use state. The locking arrangement has a load-transmission device which is designed, and coupled to an impact region of the aircraft, such that, in the event of impact of the aircraft in the impact region, the load-transmission device transmits a deformation load, caused by inward deformation of the impact region, to the locking arrangement and thus unlocks the door.
