These days, typically strong holders for attachment of inboard devices to the primary structure of an aircraft are used, which often only ineffectively manage dynamic loads. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an energy absorber is provided for aircraft, which includes one or more energy absorber elements and a housing, whereby the energy absorber elements can absorb crash impulses by plastic deformation within the housing. Thus, the load on the primary structure is limited, which can lead to an increased, passive safety of the passengers and a weight reduction.

De nos jours, on utilise généralement de puissants dispositifs de maintien pour attacher les équipements de bord à la structure primaire d'un aéronef, une solution qui peut souvent s'avérer peu efficace pour gérer des charges dynamiques. Un mode de réalisation de la présente invention concerne un absorbeur d'énergie pour aéronef, qui comporte un ou plusieurs éléments absorbeurs d'énergie ainsi qu'un logement, lesquels éléments peuvent absorber le choc d'un écrasement par déformation plastique à l'intérieur du logement. On limite ainsi la charge sur la structure primaire, ce qui permet d'accroître la sécurité passive des passagers et de générer un gain de masse.
