Aircraft with retracted front landing gear
First Claim
1. Aircraft that has a fuselage (1) elongated along a longitudinal axis X essentially along a longitudinal axis of the aircraft that determines a direction toward the front along a direction of motion of the aircraft in flight, said aircraft comprising in a forward section (2):
- a cockpit (22) in front of a cockpit bulkhead (51), and;
a front landing gear (4) and a landing gear compartment (41) associated with said front landing gear, said landing gear and said landing gear compartment being produced on and in the fuselage (1) behind the cockpit bulkhead (51);
characterized in that the landing gear compartment (41) is produced entirely or partly in a bulge (24) in the fuselage located behind the cockpit bulkhead (51) in a lower part of the fuselage, whose profile has a local downward extreme.

Abstract
An aircraft has a fuselage 1 of elongated form along a longitudinal axis X corresponding essentially to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft.
In a first forward section, the fuselage comprises a cockpit 22 in front of a cockpit bulkhead 51 and a front landing gear 4 associated with a landing gear compartment 41 located behind the cockpit bulkhead 51.
The front landing gear 4 and its landing gear compartment 41 are preferably at least partially beneath the floorboard of a compartment of the lower space of the fuselage and in a bulge 24 that increases the volume available for installation of the landing gear.
