Abstract: A storage and transportation container for a radome of an aircraft is disclosed having a top wall, and bottom wall that are planar and parallel to one another, and a peripheral wall, wherein the top, bottom, and peripheral walls form an enclosure for supporting the radome within the container. The top wall has a closed curved outline and a surface of a dimension greater than that of the bottom wall having an outline which forms a parallelogram thus making it possible to receive the radome with its curved nose pointing downwards, and wherein the geometry of the container is matched to the form of the radome and of the hold.

Abstract: A lightning protection system for a radome, the system comprising at least one lightning protection strip positioned on an inner wall of the radome, wherein the lightning protection strip defines, on the inner wall of the radome, a curve that is substantially perpendicular, at all points thereof, to the polarization direction of the electrical field vector radiated by an antenna across from the inner wall of the radome.

Abstract: A method for opening a dome for the protection of a device to be protected, fitted in a part described as fixed, in which, in the initial position before opening, a generally plane interface separates the dome from the fixed part, is provided. The method includes connecting the dome to the fixed part by at least two independent double-link connections that are movable in rotation between the dome and the fixed part. The links in a single connection being fitted in common to the dome and to the fixed part to form overall a pantograph in the shape of an isosceles trapezium which, during opening, opens out by pivoting until maximum opening is achieved, so that the dome moves away from the fixed part via a combination of movements in translation and in rotation.

Abstract: A lightning conductor system for a support structure having an external face intended to be subjected to a flow of air and an internal face opposite the external face, the lightning conductor system comprising an electrically conducting lightning conductor strip, intended to be placed on the side of the internal face of the support structure while being connected to ground, and means of fixing the lightning conductor strip to the support structure, the fixing means comprising fixing studs intended to be inserted into orifices formed in the support structure, said fixing studs being in electrical contact with the lightning conductor strip. The lightning conductor system includes the lightning conductor strip being mounted in an offset manner with respect to the main axes of the fixing studs.

Abstract: An assembly includes a support fastened to a structure by a fastening element extending along a fastening axis. and includes a bore for the passage of the fastening element. The fastening element includes a surface for driving in rotation. The assembly includes a device for locking the fastening element in rotation including a moveable end resting against the surface for driving in rotation the fastening element. The locking device is configured so that, at rest, the moveable end enters into the volume normally occupied by the surface of the fastening element. The locking device is placed between the support and the fastening element so as to be deformed elastically by the surface when the fastening element is put in place in the bore of the support. The moveable end includes locking shapes capable of interacting with the external shapes of the driving surface to stop the fastening element from rotating.

Abstract: An aircraft latch including a main hook; an operating lever; a safety device; a button on the operating lever and fastened to the safety device; and adjustment means attached to the safety device for adjusting the position of the safety device with respect to the main hook.
