Abstract
An aircraft rudder pedal frame includes a base, a support framework and connection interfaces. Each connection interface is able to connect another part of the rudder pedal to the frame. The support framework connects each connection interface to the base. The support framework includes framework elements arranged in a lattice, at least one of the framework elements extending from each connection interface.
Claims20
A frame for a rudder pedal comprising:
- a base;
- a support framework;
- and
- connection interfaces, each connection interface being configured to connect another part of the rudder pedal to the frame,
- the support framework connecting each connection interface to the base, the support framework comprising framework elements arranged in a lattice, at least one of the framework elements extending from each connection interface,
- wherein the connection interfaces comprise at least four pedal interfaces divided into two distinct pairs of pedal interfaces, each pair corresponding to connection interfaces of a pedal articulated support structure of the rudder pedal, the two pairs being arranged on either side of a longitudinal median plane of the frame, each pair comprising a distal pedal interface and a proximal pedal interface.
