The rack of locks device is housed inside each
rail and composed of multiple locking points that fixes compactly the three
parts of the fuselage (head, container and tail) with the rails. The
lock points of the rack contacts firmly with the
transversal reinforcements of the container fuselage (frames), creating a single
and rigid structure. A longitudinal axis
operated by a hydraulic actuator moves two racks of points (external and
internal) in each rail.
Compared with conventional aircrafts, the rails supposes the only aditional
weight that is added on the airplane.
