Abstract:
According to various embodiments, disclosed is an axle saddle system for an axle having an undercut between the outboard and inboard bearing lands of the axle. According to various embodiments, the axle saddle system comprises a saddle configured to fill the axle undercut in order to protect the axle from damage by the installation of a wheel onto the axle.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for brake cable adjustment are disclosed herein. In this regard, a gage block tool for adjusting a brake cable may comprise a body comprising, a first member extending in a first direction, the first member having a first length and a first thickness, and a second member extending in a second direction, the second member having a second length and a second thickness. At least one of the first member or the second member may be sized and configured to be placed between a stop and a lever of a brake valve, the brake cable connected between the lever and a brake handle being properly adjusted when the gage block sandwiched between the lever and the stop contacts both the lever and the stop while the brake handle is in a park lock position.

Abstract:
A method includes measuring a brake temperature of an aircraft brake using a sensor; determining a brake heat sink mass of the aircraft brake using a wear measuring device; and calculating a turnaround threshold based upon the measured brake temperature and the determined brake heat sink mass.
Abstract:
A torque bar manufactured by an additive manufacturing process is provided. The torque bar may include a torque bar body made of more than one metallic material. The torque bar may also include a geometry that comprises one or more voids and one or more webs, as well as a varied geometry in the direction of a longitudinal axis. The torque bars can exhibit characteristics, such as vibration damping, tuned stiffness, and tuned bending resistance in order to enhance dynamic stability.
