Abstract
An aircraft including a main landing gear compartment which comprises a rear transverse wall, and a base wall forming a sealed barrier between a first, pressurized area and a second, non-pressurized area. The main landing gear compartment includes a body, produced in a single piece from composite material, separating the first, pressurized area and the second, non-pressurized area. The body includes a first part corresponding to the base wall, as well as a second part corresponding to the rear transverse wall. At least two longitudinal beams made of composite material, are connected to the body. This single body makes it possible to eliminate a large number of parts, to simplify the assembly process, and to reduce the duration thereof.
