Abstract

An aircraft includes a pressurised cabin with a lockable door, an electrical energy supply network, and a cabin differential pressure warning system provided with an autonomous waning system energy supply device, which is independent of the electrical energy supply network.

Claims (16)

1. An aircraft comprising:

a pressurized cabin;

a lockable door;

an electric energy supply network;

a cabin differential pressure warning system having an autonomous warning-system energy supply device independent of the electric energy supply network, wherein the cabin differential pressure warning system includes a differential pressure control device coupled to the autonomous warning system energy supply device, a cabin differential pressure sensor unit, a warning-signal emitting device, and a door sensor unit coupled to the differential pressure control device that detects a state of the door.

2. The aircraft as recited in claim 1 , wherein the autonomous warning-system energy supply device includes an energy generating device.

3. The aircraft as recited in claim 2 , wherein the energy generating device is an electric energy generating device.

4. The aircraft as recited in claim 2 , wherein the energy generating device is disposed on the door.

5. The aircraft as recited in claim 4 , wherein the energy generating device is disposed on an outside of the door.

6. The aircraft as recited in claim 2 , wherein the autonomous warning-system energy supply device includes an energy intermediate storage device coupled to the energy generating device.

7. The aircraft as recited in claim 6 , wherein the energy intermediate storage device is an electric energy intermediate storage device.

8. The aircraft as recited in claim 6 , further comprising an emergency slide associated with the door, and wherein the cabin differential pressure warning system has a storage device sensor unit coupled to a differential pressure control device that detects a state of the energy intermediate storage device.

9. The aircraft as recited in claim 1 , wherein the warning-signal emitting device includes at least one of an optical warning-signal emitter and an acoustic warning-signal emitter.

10. The aircraft as recited in claim 1 , further comprising an emergency slide associated with the door, and wherein in that the cabin differential pressure warning system includes a slide sensor unit coupled to the differential pressure control device for detecting a state of the emergency slide.

11. The aircraft as recited in claim 1 , wherein the differential pressure control device includes a data processing unit.

12. The aircraft as recited in claim 1 , wherein the cabin differential pressure warning system is integrated into the door.
