Description

Technical Field The invention belongs to the field of aviation structure design, and specifically relates to a structure for installing aircraft equipment. Background Art

[0002] In order to expand the use capability and purpose of the aircraft, the aircraft needs to be equipped with various functional equipment on the outside, such as pods, auxiliary fuel tanks, smoke extractors, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange external equipment installation joints inside the aircraft. When the aircraft performs a mission, it is necessary to quickly replace the corresponding external equipment. Since the internal space of the aircraft is very limited, and the external equipment needs to be replaced quickly, the structure also needs to ensure sufficient strength. In order to ensure the integrity of the structural belly skin, it is not appropriate to arrange a load-bearing maintenance cover near the installation of external equipment on the belly. For this reason, we designed a special structural form for external equipment installation, which can quickly replace external equipment and ensure sufficient structural strength.
