  • Structure for attaching a landing gear to an aircraft fuselage
    Patent number: 6273364
    Abstract: A structure for attaching the landing gear (16) to an aircraft fuselage incorporates a force take-up bar (32), housed coaxially in the barrel (24) of the landing gear. The force take-up bar (32) transmits lateral forces exerted by the landing gear (16) towards the outside of the aircraft when it is on the ground, to a ventral beam (22) connected to the fuselage. This characteristic permits the landing gear barrel (24) to be mounted in the non-reinforced lateral fitting (20), connected to the fuselage.
