Aircraft with retracted front landing gear

摘要

An aircraft has a fuselage of elongated form along a longitudinal axis X corresponding essentially to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. In a first forward section, the fuselage includes a cockpit in front of a cockpit bulkhead and a front landing gear associated with a landing gear compartment located behind the cockpit bulkhead. The front landing gear and the landing gear compartment are at least partially beneath a floorboard of a compartment of a lower space of the fuselage and in a bulge that increases a volume available for installation of the landing gear.
