A main landing gear bay 15 which is formed inward of a fuselage 11 of an aircraft 10 from an opening portion provided in a surface of the fuselage 11 so as to store a main landing gear 13 of the aircraft 10, the main landing gear bay 15 including inclined regions 16 and 17 that are continuous from a rim of the opening portion to the fuselage 11 surface in an airframe axis direction X of the aircraft 10, wherein the inclined regions 16 and 17 are formed so as to have a larger depth toward the rim of the opening portion. Since the inclined regions 16 and 17 are formed so as to have a larger depth toward the rim of the opening portion, the aerodynamic drag acting on the main landing gear bay can be reduced. Accordingly, the fuel consumption of the aircraft can be improved.
