PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shrink a shock strut assembly to a retracted configuration, and raise and/or tilt a wheel assembly with respect to an upper tubular housing of the shock strut assembly.SOLUTION: An aircraft landing gear structure includes a shock strut assembly, and a wheel assembly operatively coupled to the shock strut assembly. The shock 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 shock 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.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
【課題】緩衝支柱アセンブリを後退構成へ収縮させ車輪アセンブリを緩衝支柱アセンブリの上側管状ハウジングに対して持ち上げ且つ/又は傾ける。【解決手段】航空機着陸装置構造体は、緩衝支柱アセンブリ、及び緩衝支柱アセンブリに連結された車輪アセンブリを含む。飛行中に収容するために緩衝支柱アセンブリの全長が伸長構成と後退構成との間で遷移するように、緩衝支柱アセンブリが、上側管状ハウジング及び上側管状ハウジングに対して長手方向に移動するように構成された下側管状ハウジングを含む。下側管状ハウジングの上側管状ハウジングに対する移動が、前方リンクとトラックリンクの互いに対する旋回をもたし、車輪アセンブリの車輪を上側管状ハウジングに対して傾かせ且つ/又は持ち上げるように、車輪アセンブリが、上側管状ハウジングに旋回可能に連結された前方リンクと下側管状ハウジングに旋回可能に連結されたトラックビームを含む。【選択図】図3
