TL;DR: In this article, a system for monitoring, measuring, computing and displaying the initial touch-down descent velocity experienced while aircraft are executing either normal, overweight or hard landing events is presented.
Abstract: A system for use in monitoring, measuring, computing and displaying the initial touch-down descent velocity experienced while aircraft are executing either normal, overweight or hard landing events. Pressure sensors and motion sensors are mounted in relation to each of the landing gear struts to monitor, measure and record the impact loads and aircraft touch-down vertical velocities experienced by landing gear struts, as the aircraft landing gear initially comes into contact with the ground. Velocity adjustments are made to correct for errors caused by landing gear per-charge pressure and landing gear strut seal friction. The system also measures the landing loads experienced by each landing gear strut during the landing event and determines if aircraft limitations have been exceeded.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a landing gear for aircraft, and more particularly to mountings for landing wheels or equivalent landing members (such as endless tracks) of the kind comprising a resilient telescopic strut, one element of which carries the landing member and is movable both telescopically and magnetically.

TL;DR: In this paper, a landing gear is equipped with a mechanism that isolates a hydraulic pitch trimmer outside of the landing loop, thereby eliminating the need for complex hydraulics normally associated with articulated landing gear designs equipped with pitch or trimmers or other articulating actuators.
Abstract: A landing gear (10) is equipped with a mechanism (66) that isolates a hydraulic pitch trimmer (72) outside of the landing loop thereby eliminating the need for complex hydraulics normally associated with articulated landing gear designs equipped with pitch or trimmers or other articulating actuators. The mechanism comprises an articulated strut (68) connected between a bogie beam (18) and a shock strut cylinder (24) for controlling the pitch of the bogie beam, an over-center linkage (70) connected between the articulated strut and the shock strut cylinder, and an externally powered actuator (72) connected to the over-center linkage for moving the over-center linkage between the over-center locked position and other another position articulating the bogie beam from an end of take-off position to a stowage position, whereby the bogie beam can be properly angularly positioned relative to the shock strut for retraction into an aircraft landing gear bay.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated an instability that was observed during high-speed taxi tests of an experimental flying-wing aircraft, and the instability was reproduced in simulations in order to resolve the reason of instability and probable solution of it.
