Abstract

Preparations for the rapid embarkation and disembarkation of passenger airplanes provide that passenger airplanes are equipped with appropriate front and rear doors in the width of the hull, enabling them to land on suitably designed and equipped doors of airport terminal terminals. When they so agree, we can board the types of seats with their seated passengers and their hand luggage, which they have stowed in half-open containers along the types of seats, by dragging the row seats on their seats in the airplane and then locking them in, the containers with hand luggage then drag it to the clipboard above the appropriate seats. After the return journey, after the landing at the door of the target airport, the types with passengers and containers with their hand luggage are unloaded from the aircraft after unlocking the species. The lower part of the airplane intended for other luggage is realized with a conveyor belt along the bottom of the carcass of the aircraft over the entire length of the luggage compartment and can be directly connected to the conveyor belt for the reception and check-in of the luggage at the door of the terminal where loading is loaded and after the landing the remaining luggage, so that passengers can deliver it and pick it up at the door of the airport terminal.

Description

PREPARATIONS FOR QUICK BOARDING AND DISCHARGING PASSENGER AIRPLANES

The subject matter of the invention is a device for the rapid embarkation and disembarkation of passenger aircraft, which also enables passenger aircraft equipped with appropriate front and rear fuselage doors to land alongside properly designed and equipped terminal doors of airport buildings. When they do so, they can board the types of seats with their seated passengers and their hand luggage, which they have folded into appropriate containers by the types of seats, so that the types of seats are tracked into their seats in the aircraft and locked there, hand luggage is towed to the clipboards above the corresponding seats. Then, after landing at the gate of the destination airport terminal and unlocking the seats, the types of passenger seats and their cabin baggage can be disembarked from the aircraft. The lower, luggage portion of the airplane intended for other luggage is realized with a conveyor belt along the bottom of the airplane fuselage along the entire length of the luggage compartment. It can be directly connected to the conveyor luggage at the terminal door, which can be loaded and unloaded when left unloaded.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The boarding and disembarkation of passengers of passenger planes takes place without exception through a few, as a rule, rather narrow gates. Smaller aircraft have only one door, but larger ones typically have two, which are located on the side of the aircraft in the cockpit nose and at the tail of the aircraft. Large wide-angle aircraft have four to seven doors arranged on either side of the aircraft. The smaller wing doors are for emergency landing only. Rear doors are only in use when boarding / disembarking is via (mobile) stairways. Normally boarding and disembarkation is only through the door on the left side of the aircraft. We load luggage into planes in pieces or containers through the luggage compartment door, the maximum size of which corresponds to the luggage compartment intersection.

airport building.

US3381921 describes arrangements for the rapid conversion of passenger planes into cargo and vice versa. Cargo pallets or pallets mounted on a group of seats. they unload through the side door and move the wheels inside the aircraft and lock them in the target locations. Similarly, according to US6808142, they load cargo containers or seat modules through cargo doors and move elevators inside the aircraft. They do not move passengers. Hand luggage is not provided.

US4699336 discloses a lowered passenger capsule which can be detached from the airplane in danger of being upward and then dropped to the ground by a parachute. Embarkation and disembarkation of passengers outside the aircraft is not foreseen.

US6494404 contemplates that the fuselage would be designed so that it could be opened upwards and could then be arranged internally by passenger and luggage gondolas using crane-like devices.

US6595466 proposes to increase the capacity of aircraft access by connecting more tunnels to the fuselage. These preparations are intended to serve primarily as a quick evacuation.

US6684443 proposes to expedite the entry and exit of passengers into or out of. from airplanes only to make the airplane accessible from both sides by means of two-handed passenger aerial bridges, with one or more doors provided on each side of the airplane.

US7275715 envisages, inter alia, the entry and exit of passenger planes by means of modules with a trunk width of several seats. They could be occupied and left at the door of the terminal and also fitted with hand luggage racks above the seats. The modules would be moved in and out of the fuselage through large side openings in the fuselage and locked there. Due to lateral movement, the modules must change their direction twice on their way in and out of the aircraft.

US20130228651A1 envisages, as in US6494404, the boarding of passengers with cabin and other luggage in modules that fit into the fuselage at an airport terminal, after which they are lifted from the airport building from the airport building by a crane-like device, and they lock up there. Disembarkation is provided in reverse order.

In modern passenger planes, we usually use only two rather narrow doors for boarding and disembarking passengers: a and b in Figure 1 show the doors of a typical two-engine passenger plane. When using aero bridges, only the front doors are usually used. Therefore, boarding and disembarking of passengers requires longer aircraft stops on the ground than would be required for service and technical tasks such as refueling. This Time further extends the inappropriate boarding order for passengers who, after reaching their seats, block the narrow corridor for an extended period of time due to the storage of hand luggage, finding suitable seats or even misplaced seating. Many airlines therefore urge passengers to board in groups, as the seating order dictates, but to a lesser extent facilitate and speed the boarding process. Disembarkation also creates a slowdown, which slows down this process because passengers do not get up in order, and often spend considerable time collecting cabin baggage before leaving the plane. Therefore, we are introducing preparations for the rapid embarkation and disembarkation of passenger aircraft.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW SOLUTION

The invention will be described in embodiments and figures showing:

Figure 1: Airplane with open hull;

Figure 2: arrangements for embarking and disembarking passengers and cabin luggage;

Figure 3: preparations for embarking and disembarking other luggage.

The problem for airlines of costly longer ground stops is to solve the fact that passenger airplanes, like cargo planes, are fitted with a suitable port c at the nose and / or tail of the aircraft, as shown in Figure 1. They will thus be equipped with a front or rear fuselage , landed at properly equipped airport terminal openings. The cross section of the passenger hull with the hull open shows the arrangement of the upper, passenger and lower luggage compartments. Passenger luggage is provided for passenger luggage above rows with seats, and luggage compartments with shelves for luggage are provided for luggage.

Passengers after checking in their luggage, as shown in Figure 3, enter their seat reservations and security checks in front of the terminal door, as shown in Figure 2, where they can safely put their hand luggage in the designated containers f and take reserved seats h. This could be done in a model that mimics the passenger hull of the aircraft, but due to the tightness of the passenger compartment in the aircraft, the following design is better.

As can be seen from Figure 2, seats h, which are otherwise tightly coupled in the aircraft, can be arranged at a greater distance from each other in the terminal and are accessible from both sides. This makes it comfortable to sit on and makes it easier for disabled and elderly passengers alike. In parallel, but also at a greater distance from the types of seats, they may be assigned clipboards with semi-open containers f for cabin baggage. It is accessible during the flight to the passenger via the flaps and the luggage compartments of the luggage and above the seats, which can be opened to store or remove personal luggage from them. At the terminal, the holders with hand luggage containers are realized lower than in the aircraft (approximately at waist height), which allows passengers to place their luggage easier, more transparent and generally more orderly.

As shown in Figure 2, the hand luggage containers are loaded onto the airplane by means of the attachment and transport guides of the tow g g to the appropriate restraints i above the seats of the passengers, and the types of seats h with the already seated passengers are pulled onto the airplane and locked there. The tracks are arranged in such a way as to reduce the distance between the seats in the terminal to the distance in the airplane and to form the types normally used in passenger aircraft. On the return journey, passengers, after landing at the destination airport, leave the aircraft and exit at the destination airport terminal.

As shown in Figure 3, the lower cargo area of the aircraft is designed in such a way that the luggage conveyor belt in the aircraft can be directly connected to the k-strap at the terminal door where the passengers in front or at after the year of submission or. they take over the remaining luggage. Loading of this luggage and arranging it in the luggage racks can be done manually or automatically according to the rack storage principle. Given that each piece of luggage is weighed and weighed at check-in, automatic luggage scheduling is also possible.

WITH THE NEW SOLUTION THE ADVANTAGES ACHIEVED

According to the invention, ground stops for passenger planes are dramatically reduced, thereby increasing their efficiency, as this on the one hand has a positive effect on the level of airport charges, and on the other hand allows more flights per day. In accordance with the invention, passengers are provided with more comfort and less stress on boarding and disembarking, which are significantly easier for disabled and elderly passengers in particular.

Compared to US6494404 and US20130228651A1, aircraft hulls require significantly smaller openings and also do not need clumsy and expensive devices such as cranes in terminals. Unlike US7275715, the boarding / disembarking of seat types also does not require a change of direction twice.

EXAMPLE OF PERFORMANCE

Cargo airplanes contain larger doors that allow the loading of larger pieces of cargo or vehicles on board the airplane. For some cargo planes, the nose or tail can be fully opened to take advantage of the entire cross-section of the aircraft's hull for loading and unloading cargo. Such aircraft can load / disembark many cargoes and persons at one time (eg Lockheed Martin C-130 Hercules and Antonov AN-124). The technical solutions used in them introduce the patents mentioned in the description of the art and could also be used in the present invention.
