Abstract:
An aircraft landing gear assembly has a main strut and a bogie beam pivotally coupled to the main strut via a coupling assembly. The coupling assembly is arranged to define a bogie beam pivot axis relative to the main strut which is spaced from the landing gear assembly, and perpendicular to the direction of travel. The coupling assembly has a pair of arms, each having an upper pivotal coupling to the main strut and a respective lower pivotal coupling to the bogie beam. Each arm has a respective connection axis which intersects respective axes of its upper pivotal coupling and lower pivotal coupling. The upper pivotal couplings and lower pivotal couplings are arranged such that their connection axes intersect at a virtual pivot axis which defines the bogie beam pivot axis.
