Landing gear attachment

摘要

A landing gear attachment apparatus (100) has a landing gear side bearing retention arrangement (104) connected to an aircraft side attachment apparatus (102), held together by a series of fuse pins. The interaction between a fuse pin carrier and a trunnion block varies the amount of load required to separate the landing gear from the fuselage depending on the direction of the load.
