Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A climate tube, in particular for aircraft, includes an inner layer and an outer layer of fiber composite plastic material. To achieve a high stiffness combined with a low weight and to achieve good thermal insulation properties, disposed between the inner layer and the outer layer is an at least almost completely circumferential honeycomb core, which is firmly connected to the inner layer the outer layer. The radial extent of the honeycomb core is large compared to the radial extent of the inner layer and the outer layer, and the mutually opposed longitudinal ends of the honeycomb core abut one another and are surrounded by a ply of fiber composite plastic material.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A climate tube used in an aircraft, the climate tube comprising: an inner layer of fiber composite plastic material, an outer layer of fiber composite plastic material, and an at least almost circumferential honeycomb core that is disposed between the inner layer and the outer layer and connected to the inner and the outer layer, wherein a radial thickness of the honeycomb core is a plurality of times greater than a radial thickness of each of the…
