Abstract:
The invention is a drive system for rotating a wheel of an aircraft landing gear. The drive system includes a motor operable to rotate a drive pinion via a drive path, and a driven gear adapted to be mounted to the wheel. The drive system has a first configuration in which the drive pinion is capable of meshing with the driven gear to permit the motor to drive the driven gear via the drive path. The drive path has an input shaft having an axis of rotation spaced from an axis of rotation of an output shaft. The output shaft is operable to pivot about the axis of rotation of the input shaft. Also, an aircraft landing gear having a wheel and the drive system, where the driven gear of the drive system is mounted to the wheel.
