  • Patent number: 11691717
    Abstract: A module includes two main landing gears and a landing gear bay containing the landing gears. The bay has two lateral walls, a roof wall, a front wall and a rear wall. The roof wall, the front wall and the rear wall together form a pressurization barrier between the bay and a pressurized compartment. By virtue of the landing gear module, it is now possible to assemble and test the main landing gears and the one or more doors and the fairing before they are installed on the aircraft.

  • Publication number: 20190112035
    Abstract: An aircraft landing gear bay roof, the roof forming a pressurization barrier between a pressurized upper compartment and a landing gear bay for the housing of a landing gear, comprising a roof wall forming the pressurization barrier. The roof wall is held by longitudinal gantries to which it is linked, and which extend over the entire length of the roof wall. The roof wall comprises a lower face configured to be installed inside the landing gear bay and an upper face configured to be installed outside the landing gear bay. At least one of the gantries is installed against the lower face of the roof wall.

  • Publication number: 20190112034
    Abstract: An aircraft landing gear bay roof for forming a pressurization barrier between an upper pressurized compartment and a landing gear bay for the housing of a landing gear. The roof comprises a main bulkhead extending in a longitudinal direction, an inclined forward bulkhead, rigidly connected to a forward edge of the main wall, and an inclined aft bulkhead, rigidly connected to an aft edge of the main bulkhead. The forward bulkhead and the aft bulkhead each form an obtuse angle with the main bulkhead. This configuration enables a better absorption of loads by the landing gear bay roof and a shorter and optimized path for transmission of the mechanical loads, in particular to the fuselage member to which the aft bulkhead is configured to be connected.

  • Publication number: 20180162514
    Abstract: An aircraft comprising at least one power plant linked to an airfoil by a power plant support structure comprising a primary structure housed in an aerodynamic fairing. The power plant is formed overhanging behind the airfoil, mostly or wholly above the upper surface of the airfoil. The aircraft comprises a main landing gear comprising at least one landing gear element linked to the airfoil of the aircraft by a support structure. The primary structure and the support structure of the landing gear element are formed by a common structure. The use of such a common structure allows a general optimization of the architecture of the aircraft by virtue of the synergies between the positioning of the power plant, the primary structure of its strut, and the support structure of the main landing gear.

  • Patent number: 9272776
    Abstract: A device for intermediate fastening between an aircraft fuselage and an aircraft landing gear is provided. The device includes at least one semi-open support structure comprising a pair of webs, which are substantially parallel to each other. The webs comprise first support means intended to receive the main pivot shaft of the landing gear and second support means intended to receive the stay joint or joints of the landing gear. The device includes two support structures linked together by a central box structure. The central box structure includes a front wall, a rear wall and linking walls linking those two walls.

  • Patent number: 9108714
    Abstract: An assembly of longitudinal structural stiffeners for an aircraft including, in a front portion of the fuselage, a windscreen that is slightly recessed relative to the airplane nose, and a fuselage portion extending in alignment with the airplane nose up to the base of the windscreen. The stiffeners include a bending-resistance main plane and are arranged under the flap and connected to the fuselage along a force transfer line. For one or more of the stiffeners, the bending resistance main plane substantially coincides, at at least a certain number of points of the fuselage force transfer line, with the plane predetermined by the local normal to the fuselage surface and the longitudinal axis of the airplane. A method is also provided for calculating the shape of the stiffeners.

  • Patent number: 8550401
    Abstract: A floor section for a vehicle cabin includes juxtaposed profiled elements of identical cross section. Each profiled element includes a mainly planar elongated cross member and a generally flat elongated panel. The cross member includes a lower stiffener, is positioned in a transverse vertical plane, and is attachable at two extremities to a vehicle frame. The elongated panel is positioned in a horizontal plane and includes an overlap region along one longitudinal edge and a bearing region along another longitudinal edge. The overlap region and the bearing region are of similar width and of total thickness less than or equal to a mean panel thickness. The panel is perpendicular to the cross member, and a bearing region underside is coplanar with a lower face of the elongated panel and is secured to the cross member at two or more points substantially in line with a middle of the bearing region.
