Abstract
An aircraft landing gear assembly having a main strut and an axle on which wheel and brake assemblies are mounted. An adaptor member is mounted on a mounting pin and arranged to define a brake rod anchor point. The adaptor member is coupled to a part of the landing gear assembly so as to react brake torque and can be formed from a different material than a portion of the main strut.
Claims19
An aircraft landing gear assembly comprising:
- a main strut arranged to be coupled to an aircraft;
- an elongate axle movably coupled to the main strut;
- a wheel assembly mounted on the axle;
- a brake assembly mounted on the axle;
- a brake rod coupled at a first location on the brake rod to the brake assembly;
- and
- a first adaptor member distinct from the main strut and mounted on a mounting pin, the first adaptor member comprising a first arm that defines a first anchor point to which the brake rod is coupled at a second location on the brake rod, the first adaptor member being coupled to the landing gear assembly in a manner inhibiting relative rotation between the first adaptor member and the mounting pin.
