A fastening arrangement for fastening a component, in particular a cabin component, to a structural component of an aircraft or spacecraft, including a structural component which has a connection surface; a fastening fitting which has a geometry matched to the geometrical shape of the structural component, has a connection portion associated with the connection surface of the structural component and is produced from a thermoplastic injection-moulding material; and an elastomeric adhesive joint for stable fastening of the connection portion of the fastening fitting to the associated connection surface of the structural component. A corresponding fastening fitting and an aircraft or spacecraft comprising a fastening arrangement of this type and/or a fastening fitting of this type are also described.
A fastening arrangement for fastening a component, in particular a cabin component, to a structural component of an aircraft or spacecraft, comprising:
A fastening fitting for fastening a component to a trapezium-shaped structural component of an aircraft or spacecraft, wherein the fastening fitting comprises a thermoplastic injection-molding material and has an approximately trapezium-shaped geometry which is matched to the trapezium-shaped geometry of the structural component to ensure planar adhesion of at least portions of the fastening fitting to the structural component, wherein the fastening fitting comprises a central receiving portion, a first lateral arm portion arranged at a first longitudinal end portion of the central receiving portion and a second lateral arm portion arranged at a second longitudinal end portion of the central receiving portion, first laterally offset foot portions arranged adjacent to said first and second lateral arm portions, said first laterally offset foot portions at respective longitudinal end portions thereof merging into second foot portions, which in turn are offset in a stepped manner from the first foot portions such that said fastening fitting is adapted to provide a form fit with said trapezium-shaped structural component completely encasing said trapezium-shaped structural component, and wherein the fastening fitting comprises in the region of its central receiving portion, a plurality of injected metal inserts comprising an internal thread for receiving fastening screws for mounting said component.
