Aircraft pressure containment assembly module

摘要

An aircraft pressure containment module is adapted to be mounted generally transversely within an aircraft fuselage for providing pressure containment to separate pressurized and non-pressurized sections of an aircraft. A plurality of web segments are joined together to form a web member. A ring member is arranged on a first pressurized side of the web member. A plurality of truss assemblies are also arranged on the first side of the web member. Each truss assembly is comprised of a first truss member adapted to extend outwardly from the ring member to a peripheral edge of the web member. The first truss member is joined to the web member and joins together adjacent web segments. A second truss member extends from the first truss member in a direction generally normal to the first side of the web member. The second truss member is adapted to be joined to an aircraft fuselage in a longitudinal sense or it may comprise a portion of longitudinally extending member of the fuselage such as a stringer. A third truss member is joined to the second truss member and the first truss member to form a truss assembly having at least in part a generally triangular shape. The truss assemblies are adapted to react pressure loading from the web member to the fuselage of an aircraft in a manner similar to a conventional dome type pressure containment module. An aircraft using the module has an elongated fuselage extending in a longitudinal direction and the pressure containment module mounted generally transversely within the fuselage.
