Abstract
A landing gear actuation system is disclosed herein. The landing gear actuation system includes a motor, a gearbox comprising a gear train, a linkage mechanism, and a trunnion. The gear train is coupled to the motor. The linkage mechanism is coupled to the gear train. The trunnion is coupled to the linkage mechanism. A rotation of the gear train by the motor rotates the linkage mechanism to drive the trunnion to at least one of extend or retract a landing gear.
