TL;DR: An articulated, retractible landing gear for helicopters and the like includes a three member drag brace assembly having a retraction brace pivotally connected to the helicopter fuselage at its inboard end and to an upper drag brace at its outboard end as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: An articulated, retractible landing gear for helicopters and the like includes a three member drag brace assembly having a retraction brace pivotally connected to the helicopter fuselage at its inboard end and to an upper drag brace at its outboard end, with the latter pivotal connection being along the articulation axis of the landing gear, the upper brace being pivotally connected at its other end to a lower brace which in turn is connected to the oleo strut of the landing gear by a universal joint, the pivotal connection between the upper and lower braces in the extended position of the landing gear being on an axis normal to both the drag brace center line and the articulation axis.

14 Nov 2006TL;DR: A reduced-volume casing for a landing gear including a chassis for fixing and taking up loads, to which the landing gear is exposed and an envelope-type structure arranged on the chassis for taking up pressurization forces is described in this paper.
Abstract: A reduced-volume casing for a landing gear including a chassis for fixing and taking up loads, to which the landing gear is exposed and an envelope-type structure arranged on the chassis for taking up pressurization forces. The chassis can include, in particular, a frame which is even to the output opening of the landing gear and is provided with beams used for receiving means for maintaining the fastening bearings of the gear and also including polygons which are used for receiving the fastening bearings of the gear manoeuvring strut and are fixed to the beams, wherein the beams and polygons form a lattice structure.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model of a three-dimensional dual-sidestay landing gear mechanism is presented and employed in an investigation of the sensitivity of the downlocking mechanism to attachment point deflections.
Abstract: A model of a three-dimensional dual-sidestay landing gear mechanism is presented and employed in an investigation of the sensitivity of the downlocking mechanism to attachment point deflections. A motivation for this study is the desire to understand the underlying nonlinear behavior, which may prevent a dual-sidestay landing gear from downlocking under certain conditions. The model formulates the mechanism as a set of steady-state constraint equations. Solutions to these equations are then continued numerically in state and parameter space, providing all state parameter dependencies within the model from a single computation. The capability of this analysis approach is demonstrated with an investigation into the effects of the aft sidestay angle on retraction actuator loads. It was found that the retraction loads are not significantly affected by the sidestay plane angle, but the landing gear’s ability to be retracted fully is impeded at certain sidestay plane angles. This result is attributed to the lan...
