Abstract
A set of doors includes two front doors and two rear doors to open or close the front landing gear bay of the aircraft to enable lowering or retraction of a landing gear, each of the front doors including at least one deflector arranged on an internal face of the front door near a rear leading edge thereof, the deflector extending along the rear leading edge, the set therefore enabling action on an aerodynamic flow between the front doors to disturb it in such a manner as significantly to attenuate undesirable transitory vibratory phenomena that can arise in a particular configuration in which the front doors are open and the rear doors are closed.
