Abstract
A holding device for a displaceable sensor is provided. The holding device has two or three motor-rotatable rings for accommodating a sensor, and the axes of rotation of the two or three motor-rotatable rings are oblique with respect to one another. The axes of rotation intersect at a virtual pivot point.

13. A holding device for a displaceable sensor, which can be repositioned inside an aircraft nose, the holding comprising:
-
three motor-rotatable rings configured to accommodate the sensor, wherein axes of rotation of the three motor-rotatable rings are oblique with respect to one another, the axes of rotation of the three motor-rotatable rings intersecting at a virtual pivot point, and the virtual pivot point and a geometrical center of gravity of the sensor coinciding, wherein a first motor-rotatable ring of the three motor-rotatable rings has a base surface and a covering surface is connected to a support structure of the holding device via a first bearing connected to the base surface, wherein a second motor-rotatable ring of the three motor-rotatable rings has a base surface and a covering surface is connected to the covering surface of the first motor-rotatable ring via a second bearing connected to the base surface and is connected to a third motor-rotatable ring of the three motor-rotatable rings via a third bearing connected to the covering surface of the second motor-rotatable ring, wherein a surface normal of the base surface of the first motor-rotatable ring and a surface normal of the covering of the second motor-rotatable ring have an angle α
