Abstract
A loads interface (1), particularly a loads interface (1) of an aircraft door with an edge frame (13), an outer skin (15) and a beam (14). A loads transferring flange (11) is designed to transmit transverse, circumferential and/or longitudinal forces, is provided with at least three flanges (18, 19, 20) for distribution of the loads in the edge frame (13), the outer skin (15) and the beam (14).
Claims8
A loads interface, particularly a loads interface of an aircraft door, comprising:
- a background structure particularly a stiffened shell-like background structure, comprising a beam, an edge-frame component and a shell-like outer skin, preferably made from fiber reinforced plastics, said edge frame being adapted to and connected with said beam and said outer skin and
- a loads transferring flange adapted and mounted to at least said beam,
- wherein:
- said loads transferring flange is designed to transmit transverse forces and bending moments resulting from transferring said transverse forces in said loads transferring flange and/or designed to transmit circumferential and/or longitudinal forces and torsional/bending moments resulting from transferring said circumferential and/or longitudinal forces in said loads transferring flange,
- said loads transferring flange is provided with at least three angled flanges,
- said edge frame is provided with an edge frame transfer section interacting with an edge frame flange of said three flanges of said loads transferring flange,
- said beam is provided with at least one beam web transfer section interacting with at least one beam web flange of said three flanges of said loads transferring flange, and
- said outer skin is provided with an outer skin transfer section interacting with an outer skin flange of said three flanges of said loads transferring flange.
