Abstract

See full text

A regulating system for the regulation of the cabin pressure PC of an aircraft, includes at least one cabin pressure regulator unit, which is so configured that, by controlling at least one air outflow or air inflow device of the aircraft, it can set the cabin pressure Pc within the aircraft fuselage with the latter supplied with fresh air and subjected to pressure at a pressure level or a cabin height defined by the cabin regulator unit. If there are changes to be made to the pressure level or the cabin height, for example while the aircraft is climbing or descending, the cabin regulator unit maintains the quotient of the time-related change of the cabin pressure Pc in the aircraft cabin and the cabin pressure Pc constant. The result is that the gas expansion rate, or the gas compression rate in a passenger's middle ear, remains constant, so that during the entire climbing or descending stage no varying or increasing discomfort is experienced by the passengers.
