Abstract
Articulation device for an aircraft door panel and an aircraft door integrating such a device.An aircraft door panel is articulated on the jamb by a device (20) that defines an approximately elliptical opening and closing trajectory, in which the major axis is approximately perpendicular to the panel. The device (20) comprises in particular a main arm (30), a secondary arm (32) articulated at the end of the main arm and a control lever (34) connecting the secondary arm (32) to the jamb, by articulation axes (A4, A5) close to the articulation axes of the main arm (30) on the jamb and the secondary arm (32) on the main arm. This arrangement makes it possible to fit a more voluminous emergency exit chute into the door panel.
