Abstract

An aircraft component support arrangement for connecting an aircraft component to an aircraft wing is disclosed including a component support and an attachment device for attaching the component support to a wing structure. The attachment device includes first to third connection means for connecting the component support to the wing structure, the first to third connection means each including a floating bearing permitting linear movement in direction of a first to third axis, respectively, and angular rotation about a central point in two orthogonal directions. The first to third connection means are spaced apart from each other in two dimensions to connect the component support at three different locations to the wing structure. At least one of the first to third axes has a different orientation to the others of the first to third axes.
