Abstract
An undercarriage comprising at least: a wheel mounted on an axle (3); a brake comprising a torsion tube (9), friction members (11) mounted around the torsion tube, and at least one brake actuator (13) for selectively exerting a braking force on the friction members; and drive means for driving rotation of the wheel and comprising an electric motor (14) that is connected to a rim (5) of the wheel (4) by a coupler member (15). The coupler member extends at least in part around the axle (3) between the axle and the torsion tube (9) of the brake.
Claims9
An aircraft undercarriage comprising at least:
- a wheel (4) mounted on an axle (3) to rotate about an axis of rotation X;
- a brake (7) comprising a torsion tube (9) extending around the axle (3), friction members (11) mounted around the torsion tube (9) and extending between the torsion tube (9) and the wheel (4), and at least one brake actuator (13) for selectively exerting a braking force on the friction members;
- and
- drive means for driving rotation of the wheel, the drive means comprising an electric motor (14) connected to the rim (5) of the wheel (4) by a coupler member (15);
- the undercarriage being characterized in that the coupler member (15) extends at least in part around the axle (3) between the axle and the torsion tube (9) of the brake.
