FlightSafety LEARJET 45 - FUSELAGE; Nose Section

In addition to the cockpit and passenger com-
partments, the fuselage includes a nose wheel-
well, an unpressurized, heated, tailcone
baggage compartment, and an unpressurized
tailcone equipment bay.
Nose Section
At the nose of the fuselage is the radome.
Constructed of fiberglass honeycomb, the
radome houses the weather radar. Aft of the
radome the nose section is constructed of alu-
minum alloy materials and provides housing
for the avionics equipment, the subfloor equip-
ment bay, the forward pressure bulkhead and
the nose wheelwell.
Two removable access panels, one on each
side of the nose section, provide access to the
avionic equipment (Figures 1-6 and 1-7). The
panels are secured with camlock fasteners.
The nose section avionics bay is cooled in
flight by the air outflow from the pressurized
section which is exhausted into the nose wheel-
well.
