Abstract

The present invention provides an aircraft fuselage which comprises a bulletproof layer in at least partial areas, an aircraft fuselage being understood as both a primary fuselage structure of an aircraft, i.e., sheeting and associated frames and stringers, aircraft fuselage insulation, and also cabin internal paneling, which encloses a pressurized cabin on the outside toward the primary fuselage structure. In this way, it may be possible to ensure bulletproof security of the aircraft fuselage and thus prevent danger to passengers and/or flight-relevant systems of the aircraft.

Claims (18)

1 . An aircraft fuselage which comprises:

a bulletproof layer in at least partial areas, and

an insulation structure, which comprises:

a core material; and

an envelope,

wherein the core material comprises the bulletproof layer, and the bulletproof layer comprises a honeycomb structure.

2 . The aircraft fuselage of claim 1 , wherein the bulletproof layer comprises multiple webs.

3 . The aircraft fuselage of claim 2 , wherein the multiple webs are situated overlapping.

4 . The aircraft fuselage of claim 1 , wherein the bulletproof layer comprises fibrous materials.

5 . The aircraft fuselage of claim 4 , wherein the fibrous materials are aromatized polyamides and/or fiberglass materials.

6 . The aircraft fuselage of claim 1 , wherein the bulletproof layer comprises a sandwich structure.

7 . The aircraft fuselage of claim 1 , wherein the bulletproof layer is implemented as a film.

8 . The aircraft fuselage of claim 1 , wherein the bulletproof layer is formed in the core material.

9 . The aircraft fuselage of claim 1 , wherein the core material is formed as the bulletproof layer.

10 . The aircraft fuselage of claim 1 , wherein the envelope is formed as the bulletproof layer.

11 . The aircraft fuselage of claim 1 , which also comprises:

passenger cabin paneling,

wherein the bulletproof layer is implemented as part of the passenger cabin paneling.
