  • Publication number: 20120268866
    Abstract: The invention aims at simplifying the electrical connections between equipment and an electrical power centre to be supplied in electricity, while enabling a good accessibility of each piece of equipment and an easier maintenance. To do so, a particular integration of this equipment is carried out so as to be able to assemble them together and connect them in a direct extension of the electrical power centre. According to one embodiment, an integration module consists in a frame and a cover, the frame having a substantially parallelepipedic shape adapted to be able to extend longitudinally along a main axis in parallel with a longitudinal main side of the electrical power centre of the structure to be supplied. Cells of constant section and a width being adjustable by movable intermediary walls, extend perpendicularly to the main axis. Such cells are adapted to receive formatted electrical equipment.

  • Patent number: 8262020
    Abstract: A casing including a wall defining an internal housing which allows retraction of a corresponding landing gear into the interior of the housing. The wall separates the non-pressurized internal housing from a surrounding pressurized zone of the aircraft. The separation wall is a shell which envelops the shape of the landing gear, on the side opposite the opening of the internal housing, and the reinforcement structure includes on one hand longitudinal reinforcement elements extending on both sides of the shell and on the other hand transverse reinforcement elements connecting the longitudinal reinforcement elements. The shell has a first zone of considerable width accommodating the wheels of the landing gear, a second zone of lesser width accommodating the rod of the landing gear, and a third zone running from the second zone of lesser width, becoming wider and accommodating a portion of the mechanism for deployment/retraction of the landing gear.
