Abstract
An aircraft strut includes a primary structure which includes: a top stringer, a bottom stringer, at least one transverse frame which links the top stringer to the bottom stringer, a front end wall which links a front end of the top stringer to a front end of the bottom stringer, a rear end wall which links a rear end of the top stringer to a rear end of the bottom stringer, two lateral frames arranged on either side of the transverse frame, each lateral frame having a lattice form. An aircraft includes at least one strut described herein.

An aircraft strut comprising:
- a primary structure comprising:
- a top stringer;
- a bottom stringer;
- at least one transverse frame, arranged in a transverse plane, and linking the top stringer to the bottom stringer;
- a front end wall, arranged in a transverse plane, and linking a front end of the top stringer to a front end of the bottom stringer;
- and
- a rear end wall arranged in a transverse plane, and linking a rear end of the top stringer to a rear end of the bottom stringer,
- wherein the primary structure comprises:
- two lateral frames arranged on either side of the transverse frame, each lateral frame having a lattice form and comprising an top beam linked to the top stringer and extending from the front end wall to the rear end wall;
- a bottom beam linked to the bottom stringer and extending from the front end wall to the rear end wall;
- and
- angle ions linking the top beam and the bottom beam.
An aircraft comprising at least one strut comprising:
- a primary structure comprising:
- a top stringer;
- a bottom stringer;
- at least one transverse frame, arranged in a transverse plane, and linking the top stringer to the bottom stringer;
- a front end wall, arranged in a transverse plane, and linking a front end of the top stringer to a front end of the bottom stringer;
- and
- a rear end wall arranged in a transverse plane, and linking a rear end of the top stringer to a rear end of the bottom stringer,
- wherein the primary structure comprises:
- two lateral frames arranged on either side of the transverse frame, each lateral frame having a lattice form and comprising an top beam linked to the top stringer and extending from the front end wall to the rear end wall;
- a bottom beam linked to the bottom stringer and extending from the front end wall to the rear end wall;
- and
- angle ions linking the top beam and the bottom beam.
