DEFORMABLE FORWARD PRESSURE BULKHEAD FOR AN AIRCRAFT
摘要
An aircraft forward pressure bulkhead as described herein includes a malleable and deformable dome that is configured to "catch" foreign objects, such as birds. The dome is intentionally designed to deform in response to a foreign object strike that imparts at least a threshold amount of impact energy to the bulkhead. The dome is free of rigid stiffeners and non- deformable reinforcement members that would otherwise hinder the flexible characteristic of the dome. Practical embodiments of the bulkhead utilize fewer parts, are less heavy, and are less expensive than traditional bulkheads that utilize rigid stiffeners.
