Abstract:
Door system for a passenger aircraft, having a door panel which is swivelable about at least one axis of rotation hung to the aircraft structure by way of a carrying and swivelling device and which, at the end of a swivelling-in movement, is guided on a lifting movement path which is curved essentially conformally with the outer contour of the aircraft and extends transversely to the swivelling direction in a form-locking engagement with door-frame-fixed receiving elements into the completely closed position and, at the start of the opening operation, can be moved with the opposite lifting direction out of the form-locking engagement, for generating the lifting movement, a tilting position control being provided which supports the swivel axis of the door panel in a tiltable manner on the door frame and, at the end of the opening lift, aligns it essentially vertically with respect to the aircraft structure,wherein a door locking system is provided which is separate from the carrying and swivelling device and is activated in the closed position of the panel and locks this door panel in a non-liftable manner to the door frame independently of the carrying and swivelling device and independently of the tilting position control.
