Abstract
An aircraft nose structure includes a fuselage, a floor for a pressurized space and a nose landing gear bay arranged under the floor, on the opposite side to the space. The bay includes walls that form a pressure barrier, of which there are two lateral panels mechanically secured to the floor by load-reacting members, an upper panel adjacent to the floor and extending between the lateral panels, and a rear panel extending between the upper panel and the fuselage.
