e-SLIDE HANGING DOOR

The e-SLIDE overhead door is a new electrically operated mechanism for aircraft sliding doors. It is designed for a suspended sliding door construction and utilizes the same safety requirements as the e-Slide Pocket Door.

The main component of this mechanism is the Aerolution Door Motion Controller, which has an integrated "Automatic Teach-In" function and 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 eliminates the need for the usual manual door locking for the TTOL phase and enables 100% electrical operation of the door without manual intervention.

Other integrated functions include CAN-based communication of double doors, privacy mode, a TTOL cockpit door control that triggers an automatic blocking sequence, and electronic force monitoring for safe door operation.

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