Abstract
An aircraft fore-structure for wide- and very-wide body freight aircraft that is characterized by the presence of a unpressurized landing gear compartment in the lower fore end section. The landing gear compartment is formed by a ceiling at the top, that is preferably domed, and by a partition towards the rear. A door that is provided in the partition provides access through the landing gear compartment to the pressurized compartment located behind said partition. An opening in the fore of the landing gear compartment also provides access to the radar chamber without requiring the radome to be dismantled. The original layout of the landing gear compartment enables fore landing gear to be installed that is larger than that in existing aircraft.
