Abstract:
An aircraft landing gear is described including a noise-reducing means. In one embodiment there is a noise-reducing element that includes an air-deflecting surface, in the form of a fairing, and a perforated airflow-reducing region. In use, some air passes through the perforations, while other air is deflected by the fairing away from a noise-generating region of the landing gear. Noise caused by the passing of the landing gear through the air is therefore reduced. In another embodiment a noise-reducing layer in the form of a mesh is supported by a skeleton structure.
