    Abstract: An aircraft landing gear comprising: an arm (17) mounted to a pivot (18) and carrying one or more wheel assemblies (19); and a composite leaf spring (20) which is coupled to the arm and arranged to provide a resilient biasing force which opposes rotation of the arm about the pivot. The arm can be made relatively stiff in comparison with the leaf spring, so that load is transferred directly into the pivot without a large amount ofbending of the leg. The leaf spring shock absorber typically has a reduced part count compared with a conventional oleo-pneumatic shock absorber. By forming the leaf spring from a composite material, its weight is significantly reduced in comparison with a conventional metal spring, making it suitable for use on a relatively large aircraft.

    Abstract: A landing gear (10) is equipped with a mechanism (66) that isolates a hydraulic pitch trimmer (72) outside of the landing loop thereby eliminating the need for complex hydraulics normally associated with articulated landing gear designs equipped with pitch or trimmers or other articulating actuators. The mechanism comprises an articulated strut (68) connected between a bogie beam (18) and a shock strut cylinder (24) for controlling the pitch of the bogie beam, an over-center linkage (70) connected between the articulated strut and the shock strut cylinder, and an externally powered actuator (72) connected to the over-center linkage for moving the over-center linkage between the over-center locked position and other another position articulating the bogie beam from an end of take-off position to a stowage position, whereby the bogie beam can be properly angularly positioned relative to the shock strut for retraction into an aircraft landing gear bay.

    Abstract: Shield assemblies for an aircraft landing gear include an aerodynamic shield, a first support bracket assembly, and a second support bracket assembly. The first support bracket assembly is configured to couple with a structural member of the aircraft landing gear, to support a first end of the aerodynamic shield, and to have a first position that is fixed relative to the structural member in an x-direction, a y-direction, and a z-direction. The first support bracket assembly has a first clamp that is configured to fix the first support bracket assembly relative to the structural member in the x-direction. The second support bracket assembly is configured to support a second end of the aerodynamic shield and to have a second position that is fixed relative to the structural member in the y-direction and the z-direction.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for mechanically rotating an aircraft about its center-of-gravity (C G ) are disclosed. The system can enable the rear, or main, landing gear to squat, while the nose landing gear raises to generate a positive pitch angle for the aircraft for takeoff or landing. The system can also enable the nose gear and main gear to return to a relatively level fuselage attitude for ground operations. The system can include one or more hydraulically linked hydraulic cylinders to control the overall height of the nose gear and the main gear. Because the hydraulic cylinders are linked, a change on the length of the nose cylinder generates a proportional, and opposite, change in the length of the main cylinder, and vice-versa. A method and control system for monitoring and controlling the relative positions of the nose gear and main gear is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A leg mechanism includes an articulated leg system (100), a passive device (130) and a cable (134). The articulated leg system (100) has a leg portion (128). The passive device (130) is coupled to the articulated leg system and is configured to apply a first force to a portion thereof. The cable (134) is coupled to the articulated leg system (100) and is configured to apply a second force, in opposition to the first force, to a portion thereof. When the cable (134) is drawn away from the articulated leg system (100), the second force moves the leg portion (128) in a first direction. When tension is released from the cable (134), the passive device (130) exerts the first force so as to move the leg portion (128) a second direction that is opposite the first direction.

    Abstract: An electromechanical linear actuator includes a pneumomechanical back-up system to ensure extension of retractable landing gear for landing an aircraft. Structurally, the linear actuator includes a stator forming a channel for receiving a ball screw. Further, the actuator includes a ball screw housing forming a chamber for receiving the ball screw. Specifically, the ball screw and the housing are in threaded engagement to translate rotation of the ball screw into axial extension of the housing. To power electromechanical extension of the actuator, the ball screw is selectively engaged to a motor with a gear train. Importantly, fluid communication between the ball screw housing and a pressurized fluid is selectively provided by a valve. If electromechanical extension of the actuator fails, the gear train is disconnected from the ball screw and the pressurized fluid is introduced into the chamber to drive pneumomechanical extension.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for performing landing gear operations. In one embodiment, a method for retracting a landing gear is useable with an aircraft having a gear door (128) that at least partially covers a gear well when the landing gear (120) is extended. The method can include receiving a first signal during movement of the aircraft down a runway for takeoff. The first signal can correspond to at least a first aspect of motion of the aircraft, such as upward rotation of the aircraft for liftoff. The gear door (128) can be opened in response to receiving the first signal. The method can further include receiving a second signal after the aircraft has lifted off of the runway. The second signal can correspond to a second aspect of motion of the aircraft, such as the aircraft achieving a positive rate of climb. In response to receiving the second signal, the landing gear (120) can be retracted into the gear well.
