Landing gear assembly
Abstract:
An aircraft landing gear (9) includes a wheel (1) having a wheel rim (3) on which a tyre (4) is held. The gap (6) between the rim (3) and tyre (4) is bridged and covered by a sealing element (7), which thereby presents a smooth surface to the air flowing over the wheel during flight of the aircraft (8). Thus, noise that would otherwise be generated by the interaction of air and the parts of the wheel (1) and/or tyre (4) defining the gap (6) is reduced. Such noise reduction benefits may also be achieved by providing a tyre (4) and wheel (1) so shaped that there is no gap (6) between the tyre (4) and wheel rim (3).
