A landing gear for an aircraft comprises: a shock absorber strut (1) with upper and lower telescoping portions (2, 3), the upper portion (2) being connectable to the airframe of the aircraft; an arm (4) to extend fore and aft relative to the aircraft and carrying a landing wheel, (7, 7 1 ), and pivotally connected by a main pivot (5) to the lower portion (3) of the shock absorber strut; and a load reacting unit (9) connected between the arm (4) and the shock absorber strut (1) for reacting to load applied between the arm and shock absorber strut on landing, and an indicator (60) for monitoring the load applied to the load reacting unit (9) on landing. The load reacting unit (9) may be connected between a forward end of the arm (4) and the upper portion (2) of the shock absorber strut to make the gear act as a semi-levered landing gear. Alternatively, the load reacting unit (9) may be connected between the arm (4) and the lower portion (3) of the shock absorber strut to act as a pitch trimmer. The arm (4) may comprise a bogie beam with fore and aft landing wheels (7, 7 1 ) with the main pivot (5) therebetween. The load reacting unit (9) preferably comprises a fluid pressure unit and the indicator (60) comprises a mechanical indicator that operates at a predetermined pressure threshold.

A combine hydraulic damper and truck positioner mechanism (20) for a landing gear (22) of an airplane. The landing gear being swingingly attached to the airplane for reciprocating movement of the landing gear between an extended position and a retracted position. The landing gear including an elongate main strut (24) having one end swingingly attached to the airplane and a longitudinally spaced second end (36). The landing gear futher including a truck beam assembly (26) pivotally attached to the strut second end. The truck beam assembly having at least two wheels (30) journaled thereto. The combined damper and truck positioner mechanism including a housing (60) having one end (68) adapted to be fastened to the strut. The housing having an interior bore (66) with a predetermined cross-sectional area. The combined damper and truck positioner mechanism further including a piston (64) having a first piston head end (90) and a longitudinally spaced second end (112) adapted to be fastened to the truck beam assembly. The piston head being slidably received within the bore for sliding movement of the piston in response to pivoting movement of the truck beam assembly when the piston second end is attached to the truck beam assembly. The combined damper and truck positioner mechanism also including a damping assembly (54) in fluid communication with the housing. The damping assembly maintaining a substantially constant fluid pressure withint the housing to dampen loads associated with the sliding movement of the piston when the landing gear is in the extended position.

The invention concerns an aircraft landing gear strut damper of the type comprising a main strut assembly (11) and a piston rod (13) delimiting with the strut assembly (11) a main chamber (14) and an annular chamber (15) of hydraulic fluid, and having internally two adjacent chambers (19, 20) isolated from each other by a separating piston (21). The invention is characterized in that the damper (10) further comprises a first auxiliary strut assembly (26) sliding telescopically on said piston-rod (13), as well as a second auxiliary strut assembly (37) sliding telescopically on the other end of the first auxiliary strut assembly (26). The two auxiliary annular chambers (31, 40) thus delimited are connected each to an associated control circuit thereby enabling the total length of the damper to be shortened or lengthened for respectively collapsing or extending the landing gear strut.
摘要:
The present invention refers to an apparatus for absorbing energy attenuating a force caused by an impact. In particular it refers to a triggering system for the plastic collapse of a metal structural element, particularly suitable for attenuating forces generated by high-velocity impacts, such as in the case of aircraft accidents. In one embodiment the triggering system for the plastic collapse of a metal structural element comprises: an elongated tubular element (11); a fixed ring (1) having a plurality of wedge-shaped flanges (3) associated to said elongated tubular element; a mobile element (2) sliding in the direction of said elongated tubular element and associated with said fixed ring; said mobile element, in response to its movement in the direction of said wedge-shaped flanges, interacts with said wedge-shaped flanges which in turn interact with said elongated tubular element so as to trigger a collapse of said elongated tubular element.

L'invention concerne un amortisseur du type comportant un caisson et une tige coulissante, avec un fond mobile délimitant une chambre inférieure de fluide hydraulique qui communique, par l'intermédiaire d'un diaphragme, avec une chambre supérieure de fluide hydraulique adjacente à une chambre à gaz sous pression ménagée en partie haute du caisson. Conformément à l'invention, un actionneur linéaire indépendant (130.1) est disposé dans la tige coulissante (102), coaxialement à celle-ci, en étant interposé entre le fond mobile (112) et une butée inférieure (126) solidaire de ladite tige coulissante, des moyens autonomes (150.1) étant en outre prévus pour la commande de l'actionneur linéaire, moyens dont l'enclenchement permet d'obtenir un rehaussement du train d'atterrissage lorsque l'aéronef est à l'arrêt au sol.
