06 Oct 2011TL;DR: In this article, a system for predicting loading of a landing gear including, a plurality sensors positioned proximate to the landing gear, is presented, which includes a processor that receives the strain data from the plurality of sensors and predicts at least one ground load based on strain data.
Abstract: There is provided a system for predicting loading of a landing gear including, a plurality sensors positioned proximate to the landing gear. The plurality of sensors measure strain applied to the landing gear, and each sensor yielding strain data. The system further includes a processor that receives the strain data from the plurality of sensors and predicts at least one ground load based on strain data. There is further provided a method for predicting loading of a landing gear. The method includes powering a plurality of sensors located proximate to a landing gear structure, interrogating the plurality of sensors via data acquisition circuitry to yield strain data, instructing the data acquisition circuitry as to a sampling rate and data resolution to be used for the interrogating, and, finally, processing the strain data to predict a ground load.

08 Sep 2010TL;DR: In this paper, a shrink shock strut assembly for retractable aircraft landing gear is described, which includes an elongated strut cylinder, an extended strut piston coaxially mounted for reciprocal movement within the strut cylinder between a shrunk condition when the aircraft is retracted into a wheel well of an aircraft and a fully extended condition when deployed from the wheel well for landing the aircraft.
Abstract: A shrink shock strut assembly for retractable aircraft landing gear is disclosed which includes an elongated strut cylinder, an elongated strut piston coaxially mounted for reciprocal movement within the strut cylinder between a shrunk condition when the landing gear is retracted into a wheel well of an aircraft and a fully extended condition when the landing gear is deployed from the wheel well for landing the aircraft, and a blocking mechanism operatively associated with the strut cylinder and mounted for movement into a blocking position with respect to the strut piston, when the landing gear is retracted within the wheel well, to prevent axial movement of the strut piston into the fully extended condition within the wheel well.
