Abstract
An aircraft fuselage door with an internal and external panel, and an aircraft fuselage part with the door. The door includes a movable internal panel to be subjected to pressurization and an aerodynamic external panel, the external panel being on an external face of the internal panel by covering the surface of the external face and elastically linked to the internal panel to form an internal free space between them, the internal panel being movable relative to the external panel. The external panel includes a centering piece to ensure a self-centering function of the door allowing the internal panel to move independently with regard to the external panel when the door is in a closed position so a clearance between the periphery of the outer panel and the fuselage can be reduced, thereby reducing drag at the outer surface of the door and improving the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft.
