e-SLIDE POCKET DOOR

The e-SLIDE Pocket Door is a new type of electrically operated mechanism for sliding doors in airplanes. This mechanism's self-supporting design, combined with its specially developed door mounting hardware with a shear pin, enables the door leaves to be designed without the disruptive joints of blowout panels, as the entire door leaf can act as a decompression panel.

The main component of this mechanism is the Aerolution Door Motion Controller, which features an integrated "Automatic Teach-In" function and over ten levels of adjustable force and speed values. Another innovation is the fully integrated electrical DUAL LOCKING system with galvanically isolated door position signals for recognizing the door status in the aircraft door control system. This hardware-based feedback system makes the usual manual door locking for the TTOL phase unnecessary and allows 100% electrical operation of the door without manual intervention.

Further integrated features include CAN-based communication of double doors, privacy mode, a TTOL cockpit door control that initiates an automated jam sequence, and electronic force monitoring for safe door operation.

The door can be moved manually to the intended safety position at any time, even in a complete power failure. These mechanical functions are superimposed on the electronic functions. The system also recognizes the activation of this mechanical system and automatically resets the door system as soon as power is restored.

An exceptional highlight for this system is the door's ease of installation and adjustment options. The entire mechanism can be inserted and fixed into the door recess (POCKET) from the passage side, and all position adjustments of the door leaf can also be made from the side. This allows the door to be precisely positioned against the installed bulkheads without having to move the mechanism as a whole.
