An aircraft landing gear structure according to the present disclosure includes a strut assembly and a wheel assembly operatively coupled to the strut assembly. The strut assembly includes an upper tubular housing and a lower tubular housing configured to be longitudinally translated with respect to the upper tubular housing such that the overall length of the strut assembly is transitioned between an extended configuration and a retracted configuration for stowage during flight. The wheel assembly includes a forward link pivotally coupled to the upper tubular housing and a truck beam that is pivotally coupled to the lower tubular housing such that translation of the lower tubular housing with respect to the upper tubular housing causes pivoting of the forward link and the truck beam with respect to one another, thereby tilting and/or raising a wheel of the wheel assembly with respect to the upper tubular housing.

    Une structure de train datterrissage daéronef selon la présente divulgation comprend un caisson et un ensemble de roues couplés de manière fonctionnelle au caisson. Le caisson comprend un boîtier tubulaire supérieur et un carter tubulaire inférieur configurés pour être déplacés dans le sens longitudinal par rapport au carter tubulaire supérieur de sorte que la longueur hors tout du caisson passe dune configuration déployée à une configuration rétractée pour larrimage pendant le vol. Lensemble de roues comprend une biellette avant raccordée par pivot au boîtier tubulaire supérieur et un basculeur qui est raccordé par pivot au carter tubulaire inférieur de telle sorte que le déplacement du carter tubulaire inférieur par rapport au carter tubulaire supérieur provoque le pivotement de la biellette avant et du basculeur lun par rapport à lautre, inclinant et/ou soulevant ainsi une roue de lensemble de roues par rapport au carter tubulaire supérieur.
