A cockpit door body 10 can be opened toward a cockpit in a direction shown
by arrow R1 by a crew inside a cockpit 3 by manipulating a knob
on a first hinge device 40. When rapid decompression occurs in the cockpit,
a mechanical pressure-sensitive device of the first hinge device 40 operates
to release a bolt from a catch. By the difference in pressure between the cabin
and the cockpit, the door body 10 opens in the direction of arrow R1
to thereby reduce pressure difference. When rapid decompression occurs in
cabin 4, a second latch device 60 detects this pressure difference
and operates mechanically to rotate a link lever 62 to release a stopper
64 from a catch 66. Flaps 30 and 32 are opened toward
cabin 4 in the direction of arrow R2 by the difference in pressure
between the cockpit and cabin to thereby reduce pressure difference.
