    摘要: A method of monitoring the condition of an aircraft landing gear shock absorber, the shock absorber including at least one spring chamber containing a gas, the method comprising taking a plurality of measurements of the gas pressure and temperature, each gas pressure and temperature measurement pair being taken of at the same instant relative to an operating cycle of the shock absorber; calculating, based on each pair of gas pressure and temperature measurements, a first value; storing the first value in a log; determining a value trend based on the log; and in response to determining that the value trend is outside a first range of values, generating a first notification signal.

    摘要: A landing gear system includes wheel rotatably coupled to an axle. A driveshaft extends through a cavity formed in the axle and is rotatable about an axis. A planetary gear includes a sun gear operably coupled to the drive shaft and a planet gear operably engaging the sun gear. The planetary gear further includes a ring gear that surrounds and is operably coupled to the planet gear so that rotation of the drive shaft rotates the ring gear. A clutch assembly is selectively moveable between an engaged state and a disengaged state. The clutch assembly transfers rotation of the ring gear to the wheel when the clutch assembly is in the engaged state, and the clutch assembly does not transfer rotation of the wheel to the ring gear when the clutch assembly is in the disengaged state.

    摘要: An aircraft landing gear assembly comprising: an axle having an axis, a wheel rotatably mounted on the axle to rotate about the axis, a brake arranged to selectively exert a braking torque on the wheel about the axis, a brake anchor structure having a substantially fixed position relative to the axle, a brake reaction linkage that mechanically couples the brake to the brake anchor structure, and a sensor comprising a sensor element arranged to detect a change in one or more physical properties of a component of the brake reaction linkage in order to determine a stress in the component due to the braking torque, wherein the sensor element does not contact the component.
