    Abstract: A torque testing device includes a body defining an interior volume that is defined by an interior wall having a non-circular cross-section. A moveable portion is within the interior volume and is selectively movable from a first orientation within the interior volume to a second orientation within the interior volume. The moveable portion includes a core defining an aperture and a piston. A portion of the piston cooperates with the aperture of the core. When the moveable portion is in the first orientation, the piston is located at a first distance from the core. When the moveable portion is in the second orientation, the piston is located at a second distance from the core, the second distance being less than the first distance.

    Abstract: A load detection system detects loads applied to a landing gear assembly during landing. The landing gear assembly includes an axle coupled to a piston rod of a compressible shock strut and a wheel rotatably mounted the axle. A torque link includes a lower link coupled to the piston rod of the shock strut so that compression of the shock strut rotates the link about a first axis. The load detection system includes a probe rotatably coupled about a second axis. The probe engages a ground surface when the shock strut is uncompressed and the wheel contacts the ground surface. The lower link rotates the probe as the shock strut compresses. A sensor senses a position of the probe, which corresponds to a load on the wheel when the shock strut is uncompressed and the wheel is in contact with the ground surface.
