Nose landing gear arrangement with a collapsible support structure designed to minimize the stowed volume of the landing gear
Abstract:
A nose landing gear arrangement including a leg assembly with a pivot axis A at one end thereof and a landing gear wheel mounting at the other end thereof. Two stays are provided, each stay being mounted at one end thereof to the leg assembly and mountable at the other end thereof to an aircraft. Each stay includes an upper stay part and a lower stay part which are hinged together by means of a simple hinge. The upper stay part has a cardan joint at its end spaced from the hinge to enable hinged mounting to an aircraft. The lower stay part has a cardan joint at its lower end spaced from the hinge, the cardan joint of the lower stay part hingedly mounting the lower stay part to the leg assembly. The leg assembly and the stays are arranged so that the stays extend from the leg assembly on opposite sides thereof and the stays fold into a stowed position so that they lie substantially alongside the leg assembly when the leg assembly is retracted.
