Abstract:
The aim of the invention is to allow the set of doors to be adjusted without increasing the number of landing gear retraction/extension maneuvers, by incorporating a specific entrance in the fairing (2) of the landing gear bay (4) that provides access to the different accessories (14, 17a, 17b) used to adjust the doors (21-25). The method of the invention consists in: providing a removable bodywork element (5) which is inserted into the fairing (2) of a landing gear bay, surrounded by a stiffening structure (7) and of sufficient dimension such that the adjustment levers (14, 17a, 17b) can be reached from the outside; accessing the inside of the bay (4) by retracting the removable bodywork element (5); and using the levers (14, 17a, 17b) to adjust the different doors (21 to 25) in a flush aerodynamic position, as well as the clearances between said doors. In one embodiment of the invention, one door (25) comprises a central bodywork portion (5) and a peripheral portion (7) including stiffening means (70). The peripheral portion (7) is surrounded by a seal (30) that bears on the other doors (21-24) via the stiffening means (70) and the central portion (5) is coupled to the peripheral portion (7) by removable separation means (6).
