Manhole assembly in the lower skin of an aircraft wing made of a composite material

摘要

A manhole assembly in the lower skin (37) of an aircraft wing made of a composite material for giving access to an installation placed inside said aircraft wing such as a fuel tank, comprising an inner cover (31) and an outer cover (33) joined by first fastener means (35); the lower skin (37) being configured with a rebated edge (45) around the manhole so that the outer cover (33) can be mounted over the lower skin (37) maintaining the aerodynamic continuity in the aircraft wing surface; the inner cover (31) being mounted over the lower skin (37) by its inner surface with a sealing profile (41) between them and being joined to the lower skin (37) by second fastener means (47).
