An aircraft spring assembly (10) includes a helical spring (12) having a hollow core (12c). A polymer damping member (16) is confined within the core (12c) and is narrower than the internal spring diameter so as to be free to move along the core (12c). The damping member being longer than the distance between adjacent coils of the spring when the spring is in a fully extended condition, such that the damping member is confined to the hollow core as the spring moves between extended and contracted conditions. |
