AIRCRAFT LANDING GEAR BAY ROOF COMPRISING AN INCLINED AFT BULKHEAD

摘要

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.
