<p>A deformable contact member (16) forming an aircraft fuselage contacting lower edge of an entry vestibule of an aerobridge for providing access between an aircraft and an airport terminal, comprises a flexible bumper (12) of elastomeric material attached to a horizontally outward side of an elongate leaf spring (18). The deformable contact member (16) is attachable horizontally outwardly of a rigid structural member of a floor of the entry vestibule through flexure means (20, 22). The leaf spring (18) has high stiffness in the vertical direction and low stiffness in the horizontal direction. The deformable contact member (16) can contact the fuselage in sufficiently close conformity to provide a firm footing, sufficient air exclusion and minimum contact force between the deformable contact member (16) and the fuselage.</p> |
