Radome cover shell and opening kinematic

An aircraft with an aircraft structure, the aircraft comprising:

• a radome cover shell movable between a closed position and an opened position, the radome cover shell capable of enclosing equipment in a nose region of the aircraft in the closed position;
• and
• a radome cover opening kinematic that enables movement of the radome cover shell between the closed position and the opened position, wherein the radome cover opening kinematic comprises:
• a guiding rail attached to the radome cover shell, and
• at least three rollers attached to the aircraft structure, a first roller of the at least three rollers arranged on a first side of the guiding rail, and a second roller and a third roller of the at least three rollers arranged on a second side of the guiding rail, wherein the radome shell opening kinematic further comprises:
• a radome cover shell rotation stopper capable of stopping movement of the radome cover shell at the opened position;
• further comprises a plurality of latches that are adapted to maintain the radome cover shell in the closed position;
• and
• wherein movement of the radome cover shell from the closed position to the opened position comprises a first movement from the closed position to a first partially opened position, a second movement from the first partially opened position to a second partially opened position, and a third movement from the second partially opened position to the opened position such that the opened position comprises the opened position.

An aircraft comprising:

• an aircraft structure having a nose region;
• a radome cover shell adapted to be able to enclose equipment in the nose region of the aircraft in a closed position;
• and
• a radome cover opening kinematic that enables a first movement of the radome cover shell from the closed position to an opened position and a second movement of the radome cover shell from the opened position to the closed position, wherein the radome cover opening kinematic comprises:
• a guide attached to the radome cover shell, and
• at least three rollers attached to the aircraft structure, wherein a first roller and a second roller of the at least three rollers are arranged on opposing sides of the guide, and wherein the second roller and a third roller of the at least three rollers are arranged on the same side of the guide, wherein the first movement of the radome cover shell from the closed position to the opened position comprises a longitudinal movement from the closed position to a first partially opened position, a first rotational movement from the first partially opened position to a second partially opened position, and a second rotational movement from the second partially opened position to the opened position, wherein the radome shell opening kinematic further comprises:
• a radome cover shell rotation stopper that stops the second rotational movement of the radome cover shell at the opened position.
