Crash Load Distribution Structure of Fuselage - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18223916 titled 'Crash Load Distribution Structure of Fuselage

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a crash load distribution structure for a fuselage, including a front fuselage frame, a crash unit at the front end, an extension frame connected to the crash unit, and a battery unit under the floor frame.

  • The structure includes a front fuselage frame surrounding the front surface of the fuselage.
  • A crash unit is positioned at the front end of the front fuselage frame.
  • An extension frame is attached to the crash unit and extends to a floor frame.
  • A battery unit is located under the floor frame and connected to a portion of the floor frame.
  • The battery unit can be separated from the floor frame if a crash load is transmitted from the extension frame.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Crash load distribution structure for fuselage.
  • Front fuselage frame with crash unit.
  • Extension frame connecting crash unit to floor frame.
  • Battery unit under the floor frame.
  • Selectively separable battery unit for crash load transmission.

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in the aerospace industry for enhancing the safety and crashworthiness of aircraft fuselages.

Problems Solved: This technology addresses the challenge of efficiently distributing crash loads in a fuselage structure to minimize damage and enhance passenger safety.

Benefits:

  • Improved crash safety for aircraft.
  • Enhanced structural integrity during impact.
  • Potential reduction in passenger injuries in case of a crash.

Commercial Applications: The crash load distribution structure can be utilized by aircraft manufacturers to build safer and more resilient aircraft, potentially increasing passenger confidence and satisfaction.

Questions about Crash Load Distribution Structure: 1. How does the crash load distribution structure improve aircraft safety during crashes? 2. What are the key components of the crash load distribution structure and how do they work together to enhance crashworthiness?


Original Abstract Submitted

A crash load distribution structure of a fuselage may include a front fuselage frame surrounding a front surface of the fuselage, a crash unit disposed at the front end of the front fuselage frame, an extension frame coupled to the crash unit and extending to a floor frame, and a battery unit disposed under the floor frame and coupled to a portion of the floor frame constituting the floor frame. The battery unit may be selectively separable from the portion of the floor frame, e.g., if a crash load is transmitted from the extension frame.
