Abstract
An aircraft front portion in which the landing gear storage bay is arranged under a cockpit floor. The landing gear bay is mechanically connected to the fuselage frames of the aircraft front portion in order to perform the function of taking up the mechanical forces acting on the fuselage frames under the effect of pressurization. The cockpit floor is thus simplified since it serves solely as a plane for the crew to walk on and it can be lowered so as to release space in the cockpit.
