Abstract
An aircraft comprising a first door and a second door, each being mobile between an open position and a closed position, and a maneuvering system. The maneuvering system includes an actuation mechanism, a first transmission chain configured to transmit the movements of the actuation mechanism to the first door, a second transmission chain configured to transmit the movements of the actuation mechanism to the second door. Such a maneuvering system uses a single actuation mechanism, which results in a simplification of the mechanism and a weight saving.
Claims9
An aircraft comprising:
- a first door and a second door, each being mobile between an open position and a closed position, and
- a maneuvering system comprising:
- an actuation mechanism,
- a first transmission chain configured to transmit the movements of the actuation mechanism to the first door,
- a second transmission chain configured to transmit the movements of the actuation mechanism to the second door,
- a common transmission element present in the two transmission chains and configured to transmit to each transmission chain the movements of the actuation mechanism to the associated door, to link the first transmission chain to the second transmission chain and to synchronize the first transmission chain and the second transmission chain,
- where the actuation mechanism is a cylinder mounted to move rotationally about a first axis on a structure of the aircraft and which has a rod,
- where the common transmission element is a common vane mounted rotationally mobile about a third axis on the structure, the end of the rod being mounted rotationally mobile about a second axis on the vane.
