AIRBUS 320 Cabin Layout Passenger Arrangement Reconfiguration Universidad Carlos III de Madrid Bachelor Thesis Bachelor's Degree in Aerospace Engineering AIRBUS 320 Cabin Layout Passenger Arrangement Reconfiguration. Author:Juncal Mart´ınezSarri´on Tutor: Pablo Fajardo Pe~na AIRBUS 320 Cabin Layout Passenger Arrangement Reconfiguration. Abstract . This project was developed during a design engineering internship at SIRIUM AEROTECH and consists in the cabin layout passenger arrangement reconfiguration of an Airbus 320 aircraft in order to reduce the number of passenger seats from 174 to 162 and the final certification of the modification by means of EASA regulations. First of all, there is an introduction explaining the goals of the project and its background, as well as an analysis of the socio-economic impact. Secondly, it is found an inventory of all the materials involved in the project and the accomplishment instructions to carry out the whole modification. Thirdly, a flammability test is performed in order to prove the fire resistance of materials that will be used to manufacture some parts needed for the change. After that, manufacturing instructions are presented. Finally, the results obtained and the regulatory framework with the instructions for certi- fying the project are presented. This is followed by a time schedule and budget of the project and the conclusions. 1 AIRBUS 320 Cabin Layout Passenger Arrangement Reconfiguration. Acknowledgements First of all, I would like to thank Alejandro Rubio and the entire team of Sirium Aerotech for giving me the opportunity of developing this project in the company's facilities and for teaching me so much during my internship. Secondly, I would also like to thank Pablo Fajardo Pe~nafor his advice and continuous interest in helping me along the growth of the project, as well as to all the professors who, throughout the course, have helped me to acquire the academic and interpersonal knowledge that has made it possible to place myself at the end of this stage. Thirdly, I would like to express an infinite gratefulness to my mother, Isabel, since without her unconditional support from the first day until the last one, it would not have been possible to get where I am now. At last but not least, I would like to extremely thank Raphael Motta Costa for continuously encouraging and easing me with the difficulties passed during this last year of university. 2 AIRBUS 320 Cabin Layout Passenger Arrangement Reconfiguration.

    Canadair Regional Jet 100/200 - Lighting 1. INTRODUCTION The lighting system provides interior and exterior illumination of the aircraft and consists of: Flight Compartment Lighting Passenger Compartment Lighting Service and Maintenance Lighting External Lighting Emergency Lighting. Lighting control panels for the flight compartment, passenger signs and external lighting are located in the cockpit where they are clearly visible and readily accessible to the pilot and copilot. Passenger compartment lights are controlled from the flight attendant’s panel in the forward cabin. Emergency lighting is controlled from the cockpit and may also be controlled from the flight attendant’s panel. When armed, the emergency lighting systems come on automatically if essential electrical power is lost. Service and maintenance lighting is provided for the avionics compartment, baggage compartment, aft equipment compartment and in the landing gear wheel wells. Controls for the lights are located in the area that they illuminate. Lighting system messages are displayed on the engine indication and crew alerting system (EICAS) displays.

  • As Authorized Marketing Agents for SAS, Bombardier Presents for Sale Q400 Aircraft - 4010
    As Authorized Marketing Agents for SAS, Bombardier Presents for Sale Q400 Aircraft - 4010 Rev. 6 B Aircraft Summary: The Q400 is an extraordinary modern technology turboprop, offering airlines exceptional economics with jet speed and comfort in the 70-seat market. Designed to meet the requirements of regional airlines for more seats, superior economics and greater speed in the high-density regional arena, the Q400 is also replacing and supplementing jets on many regional and mainline routes worldwide. With a maximum cruise speed of 360 kts, outstanding performance and seating of up to 78 passengers, the Q400 provides airlines with greater revenue-generating opportunities in regional and low cost markets and extends an airline's reach well beyond traditional turboprop markets. The Q400 is easily as fast as most jets on airline routes under 500 miles (800 km) and it’s extraordinary economics, best of any regional aircraft today, are enabling it to compete effectively against established low cost carriers. While the Q400 is larger and faster than the other Q Series models, the same pool of pilots can fly this aircraft, resulting in reduced crew costs for airlines with a mixed Q Series fleet. Aircraft History: SAS was the launch customer of the Q400. The SAS fleet Q400 was delivered as new aircraft directly from Bombardier between February 2000 and February 2002. In late October 2007, SAS elected to voluntarily withdraw the Q400 from active service and subsequently offer 24 Q400 aircraft for sale. Rev 6, Page 2 of 10 B Aircraft Specification: Technical Data PDF Delivery Conditions: The SAS Q400 aircraft will be delivered in the following condition: • Valid C of A and if required a C of A for Export • Fresh next due C-Check to MRB Standard (Note aircraft 4012 and 4036 will be sold on the basis of C-checks already done to SAS Maintenance Program) • All Airworthiness Directives due 90 days after delivery • Engines, props and landing gear times and cycles largely in accordance with the attached spec sheets.

CONTROL SYSTEMS Introduction The architecture of the flight control system, essential for all flight operations, has significantly changed throughout the years. Soon after the first flights, articulated surfaces were introduced for basic control, operated by the pilot through a system of cables and pulleys. This technique survived for decades and is now still used for small airplanes. The introduction of larger airplanes and the increase of flight envelopes made the muscular effort of the pilot, in many conditions, not sufficient to contrast the aerodynamic hinge moments consequent to the surface deflection; the first solution to this problem was the introduction of aerodynamic balances and tabs, but further grow of the aircraft sizes and flight enveops brought to the need of powered systems to control the articulated aerodynamic surfaces. Nowadays two great categories of flight control systems can be found: a full mechanical control on gliders and small general
