<p>The invention relates to the skin of an airplane door, which conforms to the surrounding surface contour of the fuselage, which is connected with a door frame, which door frame has supports arranged in the longitudinal direction of the fuselage and spaced with respect to one another in the circumferential direction, and which during the flight is exposed to a pressure load direction. It is an object of the invention to provide the skin of an airplane door with a clearly smaller dimension for the purpose of a light construction and, if possible, thereby avoid displacements on the skin. The object is achieved in that a skin (20) preformed against the pressure load direction is connected with supports (400) of the door frame (30). During the flight at cruising altitude, the invention ensures that the door has essentially no displacements with respect to the surrounding surface contour of the fuselage, and thus essentially no displacements occur which could increase the flow resistance of the skin. Relative to a material, it is possible by means of the invention to construct the skin in a smaller thickness than in the case of known doors, but disturbing displacements on the skin are nevertheless essentially avoided. The invention thus permits a weight reduction of the door.</p> |
