1. An aircraft landing gear assembly comprising:
a main shock absorbing strut arranged to be movably coupled to an aircraft so as to be movable between a deployed condition, for take-off and landing, and a stowed condition for flight; a folding stay having a first stay arm coupled to the main shock absorbing strut and a second stay arm movably coupled to the first arm and being arranged to be coupled to the aircraft, the folding stay having a generally aligned condition in which it reacts axial loading thereof to maintain the main shock absorbing strut in the deployed condition and a folded condition in which it permits the main shock absorbing strut to be moved from the deployed condition; a folding lock link having a first link arm coupled to the stay and a second link arm movably coupled to the first link arm and being arranged to be coupled to another part of the landing gear assembly, the lock link having a generally aligned condition in which it reacts axial loading thereof to maintain the stay in the generally aligned condition and a folded condition in which it permits the stay to be folded; and a fibre composite leaf spring rigidly coupled to a part of the landing gear assembly and arranged to apply a biasing force to the lock link to urge the lock link to assume the generally aligned condition. |
