Abstract:
1. An aircraft door arrangement comprising a door hingedly mounted to the fuselage of an aircraft such that it is selectively pivotally movable into a closed position in which it closes an aperture in the fuselage and into an open position in which it provides access through the aperture, a linear actuating mechanism adapted to be operable for selectively moving the door between its open and closed positions, wherein the linear actuating mechanism comprises an elongate straight casing and a rod which is disposed in the casing and extends partially from a longitudinal end of the casing and which is selectively extendable and retractable by operating the linear actuating mechanism, and the casing being mounted by an actuator mounting between and supported by two spaced elements of the primary structure of the aircraft such that it is pivotable about a rotation axis, wherein the longitudinal end of the rod extending from the casing is pivotally coupled to the door, such that upon extending the rod from the casing the door is moved into its open position and upon retracting the rod into the casing the door is moved into its closed position, the actuator mounting comprising a rigid mounting component comprising three elongate legs extending in a common plane together with the casing and the rotation axis and each having a first and a second longitudinal end, wherein the three elongate legs include a first leg and a second leg of equal length and shape and a third leg, and wherein
