Nose section for e.g. wide-bodied commercial aircraft, has pressurized zone delimited by walls, where one of walls is plane shaped sealed partition wall that assists to delimit landing gear case and is made of composite material

摘要

The section (1) has a non-pressurized front landing gear case (28) for housing a front landing gear (30) in a raised state of the gear. A pressurized zone (2) is arranged adjacent to the case, and is delimited by a set of walls, where one of the walls is a plane shaped sealed partition wall (10). The partition wall assists to delimit the case, and has a lower end (11) fixedly arranged on an aerodynamic lower fuselage skin (12). The partition wall is made of composite material e.g. resin and glass/carbon fiber mixture.
