Aircraft landing gear assembly

An aircraft landing gear assembly comprising:

• an elongate bogie beam including a bearing via which the bogie beam is arranged to be movably mounted to an aircraft landing gear main strut, a first end region, a second end region, a first longitudinal axis extending between the bearing and the first end region and a second longitudinal axis extending between the bearing and the second end region;
• a first axle mounted at the first end region of the bogie beam, the first axle defining a first wheel mounting portion on a first side of the bogie beam for supporting a first wheel assembly and a second wheel mounting portion on a second side of the bogie beam for supporting a second wheel assembly;
• a second axle mounted at the second end region of the bogie beam, with the bearing between the first end region and the second end region, the second axle defining a third wheel mounting portion on the first side of the bogie beam for supporting a third wheel assembly and a fourth wheel mounting portion on the second side of the bogie beam for supporting a fourth wheel assembly,
• wherein the bogie beam is arranged to enable the first axle and the second axle to each pivot relative to the bearing about a respective on of the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis by an amount which is sufficient to place a wheel rim of a wheel assembly in contact with a ground surface upon which the landing gear rests in an event of a tyre of the wheel assembly deflating;
• wherein the bogie beam is arranged to enable the first axle and the second axle to each pivot relative to the bearing about a respective one of the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis by virtue of a respective first flexure zone and a respective second flexure zone, the first flexure zone being located between the bearing and the first axle and the second flexure zone being located between the bearing and the second axle.
