Embodiment Construction

[0028] figure 1 A fuselage 10 of a cargo aircraft is schematically shown. At the forward end of the fuselage 10 there is a cockpit section 12 and below the cockpit section 12 there is an avionics bay 14 in which a large amount of electronic equipment for the aircraft is kept. The term "electronics" here means, for example, the electronics required for navigation of the aircraft and the electronics used to control various components within the aircraft.

[0029] Along the length of the aircraft, behind the cockpit and avionics bay 14 , there is a cargo holding arrangement 16 which occupies the largest part of the fuselage 10 . The cargo holding device 16 has a floor 20 made of panels 18 which separates the cargo holding device 16 from a bilge 22 below the floor 20 .

[0030] Aft, in the lower portion of the fuselage 10, there is a cargo holding hatch or door 24, which figure 1 In the closed position, it acts as a ramp in the open position by means of which goods can be trans...

Abstract

The invention relates to floor heating for an aircraft which has a floor (20) made up of heatable panels (18). In order to be able to heat up the panels (18) in an energy-saving way, the same are provided with hollow chambers (26) which pass through them, wherein a feed line (28) for warm waste air originating from the cooling of the aircraft's electronic equipment which is connected to the first hollow chambers (26), conveys hot air to the first hollow chambers (26) when the floor heating system is in operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device and a method for heating floors in an aircraft. Background technique [0002] Due to the direct contact between the floor and the aircraft structure, heat is dissipated from the cabin area to the outer skin. When the plane is at normal flight altitude or on the ground and it is very cold, the surrounding temperature is very low, and this heat loss means that the floor of the plane will cool down. Then in a passenger aircraft, passengers will easily feel cold feet, and in a cargo aircraft, it may even freeze on the floor. In order to solve these problems, it is common practice to heat the floor by means of electric heating mats. However, covering the entire floor surface, or at least a large part thereof, with these heating mats is expensive and, moreover, during operation these heating mats require a large amount of electricity which has to be generated inside the aircraft, thereby increasing the fuel consump...
