Claims7
A device for the installation of systems in an aeroplane fuselage which has an opening, the opening being a front face side opening or rear face side opening, comprising:
- a longitudinal guideway extending through the opening into the aeroplane fuselage for accommodation of at least one cart that can be moved along the longitudinal guideway, wherein the longitudinal guideway has two parallel guideway sections, which are connected with one another via a curved section arranged in the aeroplane fuselage, and wherein the at least one cart is able to enter into the aeroplane fuselage through the opening along one of the two parallel guideway sections, is able to change direction along the curved section, and is able to exit from the aeroplane fuselage through the opening along the other of the two parallel guideway sections.
A freight loading system for an aeroplane, comprising:
- a rail-type longitudinal guideway arranged in an aeroplane;
- and
- a multiplicity of sledges routed on the rail-type longitudinal guideway for the accommodation of cargo, wherein the rail-type longitudinal guideway has a curved section for the purpose of altering the direction of the sledges, and wherein the rail-type longitudinal guideway has two parallel guideway sections, which are connected with one another via the curved section, wherein at least one sledge of the multiplicity of sledges is able to enter into an opening of an aeroplane fuselage along one of the two parallel guideway sections, is able to alter direction along the curved section, and is able to exit from the aeroplane fuselage through the opening along the other of two parallel guideway sections.
