  • Patent number: 5692703
    Abstract: An aircraft landing gear wheel stowage structure including a wing rear spar extending laterally across the aircraft; a mid bulkhead extending laterally across the aircraft and displaced rearwardly of the wing rear spar; a pressure bulkhead extending laterally across the aircraft and displaced rearwardly of the mid bulkhead; first and second longitudinal keel structures laterally spaced on each side of a longitudinal axis of the aircraft and traversing the wing rear spar, the mid bulkhead and the pressure bulkhead. The wing rear spar, the mid bulkhead, the first keel structure, and the second keel structure form a first forward outboard wheel well compartment that is outboard of the first keel structure, a second forward outboard wheel well compartment that is outboard of the second keel structure, and a forward central wheel well compartment that is between the first keel structure and the second keel structure.
