An adjustable nose landing gear reduces takeoff speed by hiking the shock strut, then automatically de-hikes to minimize stowage space and landing forces.
Sequential hydraulic pressure application releases the uplock before deploying the landing gear, eliminating force fight and loud thump during deployment.
Adjustable breaker strut hinges and phase-shifted dual slider-crank mechanisms reduce retraction torque while minimizing landing gear compartment volume.
Vertical baffles and a curved aft fairing guide airflow through exposed landing gear cavities, reducing drag by 56% compared to previous designs.
Curved slot geometry constrains spring extension, reducing stress and extending lifespan.
A roller slot mechanism controls aircraft landing gear bay doors through a drive rod and crank assembly.
A fuselage-mounted landing gear system moves the wheel assembly between deployed and stowed positions using a pivoting trunnion brace.
Dynamic retraction linkage enables rapid gravity-driven landing gear deployment, reducing aero-acoustic noise duration during approach.
