Abstract
An aircraft includes first and second zones, and a sealing system, interposed between a doorframe and a door providing access to the second zone, including: a peripheral seal secured to the door, a stop secured to the doorframe, and including a body in the form of at least one plate which extends around the perimeter of the doorframe, parallel to the door when the door is in the closed position, a peripheral groove positioned on the stop in such a way that the peripheral seal closes off the peripheral groove around the perimeter of the opening when the door is in the closed position, and at least one passage configured to cause the peripheral groove and the first zone to communicate.
