    摘要: An aircraft undercarriage having a sliding rod slidably mounted in a strut-leg, and a scissors linkage (4) having one branch (4a) hinged to the strut-leg or to a turning element of a control for steering the sliding rod mounted to turn in the strut-leg, and one branch (4b) hinged to the sliding rod, the branches being hinged to each other by a pivot pin (12), the undercarriage being fitted with a shimmy-attenuator device (10a, 10b) placed on the pivot pin of the shimmy-attenuator, the attenuator device including threshold resilient return means generating a force returning the branches towards a rest position, and at least damping means generating a damping force when the branches move axially along the pivot pin. The attenuator device comprises two modules (10a, 10b) placed on either side of the scissors linkage in order to co-operate with the pivot pin, each of the modules performing at least one of the damping function and the threshold resilient return function.

    摘要: A landing gear includes structural parts arranged to connect a wheel to a structure of an aircraft, each structural part including two or more interfaces for connection to one or more other of the structural parts or to the structure of the aircraft and two or more webs which extend so as to face one another while delimiting between them a free space and which connect the two interfaces in order to transmit the forces from one to the other.

    摘要: A method of moving a door of a well for an aircraft undercarriage during sequences of deploying or retracting the undercarriage includes: using a temporary mechanical connection between the door and the undercarriage that is effective when the undercarriage is close to its retracted position, causing the door to be opened by the undercarriage while the undercarriage is being deployed and causing the door to be closed by the undercarriage while the undercarriage is being retracted, but releasing the door from the undercarriage when the undercarriage is close to its deployed position, and using a door actuator acting on the door to close and open the door when the undercarriage is in its deployed position and the temporary mechanical connection is interrupted.
