Abstract

An aircraft door arrangement having a pivotable door for closing an aperture in the fuselage of an aircraft and selectively movable between closed and open positions by a linear actuating mechanism having a casing and a rod selectively extendable and retractable. An actuator mounting mounts the casing between two elements of the primary structure of the aircraft. The rod is pivotally coupled to the door. The actuator mounting includes a rigid mounting component including three legs extending in a common plane together with the casing and the rotation axis and each having a first and a second longitudinal end. The first and second legs symmetrically extend from the casing at an angle at opposite sides thereof. Each of the second ends of the first and second legs is rotatably coupled on the rotation axis to another one of the spaced elements of the primary structure of the aircraft.
